Draught at the monastery’s cafeteria. Weak vinous aroma. Hazy yellow colour. Very small creamy white head. The flavour is citric, refreshing and slightly bready. OK hopped, citric getting slightly sour in the finish. Good bready aftertaste.

Draught @ the monastary: Poured a hazy orange yellow with a white head. Aroma is fruit and malts. Taste is harsh bitter fruit with a grainy malt finish. The version at the monastary although lower ABV seem hoppier and bitter.

From tap at the monastery. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is mild fruity and yeasty. Light crnish initial acidity and biternes yet also with a mild yeasty note. Ends bitter and mild spiced. Rather dry.
