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.

On tap at Port Brewing/Lost Abbey in San Marcos. Pours Golden blonde and super clear. Aroma of sweet citrus from the Belgian yeast. Begins sweet and complex, but ends with a nice kick of hops. Good mix between a sweet and smooth Belgian and hops. A great beer for a warm summer day.

Pours a golden hazy color with a nice white head. Big hop aroma, spices, yeasts and a little malt in the nose. Flavor is very hoppy, a fresh hoppy at that with some spiciness and a little malt and some yeastiness. I liked this one quite a bit.

On tap at Lost Abbey. Pours a clear golden sheen, creamy white head, and a nice film of lacing on the glass. Dry hopped feel, dry floral notes, hay and wheat in the nose. Big dry hop bite in the mouth, with lots of oaty malt, hay, wheat. Refreshing, crisp and easy to drink.
