Commercial Description:
Lectio Divina is a cross between an abbey double and a saison. Open fermentation with a saison strain and a dose of wild yeast at bottling add to the complexity.

Really great brews so far soming from this brewery. I really enjoyed this one. I could definitely drink a whole 750 by myself. Aroma and taste is very sweet with light hints of bitterness. Very smooth going down and easy to drink. Some belgian sweetness is very nice. Mild spice and very fruity. Nice body and color of caramel.

Tasted at the May Northern California Beer Tasting. This Belgian Strong ale pours a deep orange gold color from a 750ml bottle. Large sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, with a touch of sour/tartness. Medium bodied BSA. The malts are fruity and sweet with some sourness. For some reason I am picking up some artificial banana flavors here as well. The tartness is nice, but I don’t think it should be there. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

Hazy amber. Fruity, with a touch of footiness. Fizzy carbonation. Some figgy, fruity notes and light caramel. A bit too yeasty for my liking, but I’ll be giving this a re-rate down the road.

Bottle via Beerlando. Light, hazy orange color. Smell of lemon, yeast, hops, zest and spicy pepper. Taste of yeast, hops, lemon zest, citrus and flowers.

C&C 750 from kp - thanks! Hazy gold-orange with a slight white head. Spicy-sweet nose, bread and caramel, some ginger. Flavor follows the nose, with some doughy bits. Yeast shows up big as it warms a bit. Not a bad drinker - creamy medium body.

25 oz bottle, via SoLan and TheCheeseMan. Pours a clear bright copper body with a fizzy one finger off-white head that faded to a thin film. The nose is fruity with a crisp Macintosh apple juice focus. Some yeast, syrupy malt, light alcohol, and a touch of white pepper. The flavor is sweet fruity malt with a good bit of peppery alcohol, light brown sugar, and some yeastiness. Mouthfeel is fairly thick and viscous with some sticky residual sugars. Fizzy, slightly prickly carbonation. Overall, this was decent, but I think it was pretty lacking in complexity and subtlety. Big and heavy, but not distinctive.

Bottle. Brown pour with reddish hint, some off white head. Sweet sugary malt, ripe fruit, and yeast (unibrouesqu) in the aroma. The flavor is the same, the sugar and ripe fruit are nice flavors. Enjoyable and very drinkable for this abv.

Another interesting Saint Somewhere brew. Attractive pour of dark caramel brown. Spicy nose and malty, fruity flavor. Complex. Kind of a train wreck.
