Commercial Description:
Who is qualified to judge one's contribution? Is it the pure Wisconsin barley malt or shall credit be given to traditional German and English hops? Maybe it is the Belgian Monastic yeast or the Brewer's tender care? Combined, this is a sophisticated Abbey style ale. Both elegant and drinkable this ale is cleanly aromatic with spicy notes of clove and ginger. Crisp and fragrant up front while gracefully sliding into warm malt notes at the finish. Fermented natually in this bottle, the beer in your hand is a living testament to the value of many working together to create something bigger than the individual parts. Moving a mountain begins with a single stone.

Aroma has a hint of banana esters, some clove and other in determinant spices and a tiny touch of minerals. Pours a cloudy, golden-yellow with a tall white head that thins. Interesting flavors, subtle Belgian yeast characterized by bubblegum and spices followed by a bit of bread-like malt mid-palate and some sweet, honey and corn flavors near the finish. I even get a bit of bitterness in the finish. Light in body with a fairly watery texture and a crisp, dry finish.

Pours a very hazy golden straw color. Big head that immediatly dies. Very lively carbonation. Smells of simple fruit, malt and a little spice. Tastes of fruit, maybe a little clove, some malt, a little citrus and a tiny bit of hops. Feels medium in the mouth with good carbonation. Very highly drinkable.

Thanks to whoever sent me this one! This brew pours with a huge head of tiny. tight, white bubbles over a medium yellow body. Laces the glass nicely. Fragrant lemon and melons aroma. Well balanced sweetness and ho bitterness with a pleasant dry finish. Light bodied, perhaps it could use a bit more.
