COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In the small village of Meer, north of the city of Antwerp, there used to be an abbey which was famous for its beer named St. Paul. During the French Revolution, the abbey was destroyed and so it was said-one father named Paul, rescued the secret recipes to brew the abbey beer and trust them onto the local Sterkens family, at that time a renowned brewer family. The Sterkens family had been brewing beer since 1654, and their St. Paul abbey beer is still brewed today, respectfully according to the centuries old tradition.

Lubiere (6707) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 24, 2008
Deep reddish brown ale with a thin white head. A sweet caramel aroma with notes of coriander, light molasses and evidence of oxydation, maderization. In mouth, sweet candy sugar with light orange peels, no alcohol, and madera. Not bad considering this may be passed its prime. Bottle at Vineyards, Spring 2007, 8.95$.

I tried this beer on November 1, 2007 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto. The beer poured a dark reddish brown colour with a thick, fluffy, off-white head that lingers. The aroma was a compbination of malt, yeast, and subtle hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with mild carbonation. The flavour was yeasty with some malt in the background.
