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.

Pours a cloudy medium light amber with a slightly off white head that fades pretty quick. Taste is full of crisp hops, bitter. Pretty light for a Belgian IMO.

On tap at Papago. Pours a cloudy gold with a snow white head that leaves nice lacing. Nose is floral hops, yeast and spice. Taste is floral hops, peach, spicy yeast and light citrus hops in the finish. Medium creamy mouth feel. Good stuff.
