Commercial Description:
It’s an unassuming road leading to the priory. Here, off the corner of two intersecting roads, dedicated monks have been making beer for over 150 years. It’s always been a simple life – the kind that requires they brew only enough to sustain the activities of their monastery In the silence of passing seasons, they pray, they brew and retire in a solitary existence behind the sheltering walls. They live a most interesting life. Most likely one we wouldn’t sustain. Nearby, each summer, the trellised fields spring to life as rows of resinous green cones are trained toward the heavens. Rumor is some monks love these hops and being surrounded by budding yellow aromas and the leafy pungent fields inspires them. Since we weren’t sensible enough to locate our brewery near hop fields, we can only offer this blond ale in celebration of our Abbey brethren and their steadfast Devotion.

Bottled at Petalax Beer Festival. Pils-like hazy golden with brief lively head. Grassy malt with butter undeneath. Dry, yet fruity with medium body. The grassy malt and hay-like hops makes it reminiscent of a pilsener, but fruitier. Mineraly finish with lingering bitterness. The mouthfeel is cleaner than in my dreams, but it remains very drinkable. I really appreciate the effort to brew tradition style laid back beers, but this is no real masterpiece yet. For ultimate perfection perhaps 10 generations of practive is needed?

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is slight malts, some yeast and hops. Flavour is grass, malts, hops and some slight notes of caramel malts. A bit acidic fruityness is also there.

(Bottled) Hazy yellow with a smallish, lacy head. Aroma of honeyish malt, and some grassy-aromatic hops. Grassy-hoppy flavor with neutral, somewhat acidic maltiness. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Pretty light and pilsenery for its kind and strength. Still not bad.

From a 750 ML bottle purchased at By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a murky golden-orange body with a thin lacy whitish head. Sweet, chalky, nutty, hoppy, floral, grassy, estery, bubblegummy nose. Easy drinking, smooth with a great mouthfeel. Amazingly delicious! Candy sugar, citric mellow bite. Very nice!

750 ml bottle. Yeasty spicey aroma that wasn’t over spice for me on the nose. Murky golden body with white head and good lacing. Chalk and medium sweet candy with some lemon and spice mix. Well blended I thought anyway. Smooth on palate good brew

Bottle from Monk’s, Philly. Nice golden amber color with good head. Has characteristics of Belgian, English and American Ales. The yeasty nature going on in the background is clearly Belgian, while the grapefruit hops are American, and the pale malt and grassyiness seem English. Not overdone.

Orange to amber in color with a decent white head. Sweet and fruity in the smell. Taste is sweet, fruity, apricots coming through the most. Good but not great.

Sweet mild with a low fruitiness. Golden color with light head; a little cloudy. Very mild taste with minimal sweetness. Malty but very balanced and mellow. Exceptionally easy to drink. Sweet with no noticable astringent flavors or harsh textures. Very easy to drink. Very good. A favorite of mine.
