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.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a dark amber, big head. Nose is sour, dark dried fruits and quite complex. In the taste I detect the fruit as dried cherries, and the finish is caramel malt. Very nicely done.

Shared 750ml bottle... pours a deep hazy amber with a really deep and large off tan head... this quickly settles down to a thin lacing... some funk and Belgian yeast along with deep dark fruits on the nose... a nice med body with some sweet sour notes taking strength and grabbing hold of the tongue...as the beer settles over the tongue the dark fruit notes come forward including plums, tart apples, and cherries... pleasant sour finish with a bit of sweetness... different twist on a Belgian sour.

750 ml bottle via trade? Pours a hazy orange amber color with a small off white head. The aroma was sweet, slightly fruity, Belgian candy sugar, yeast and spices. The flavor had more fruits, caramel malt, banana, yeast, sugary sweet, with a touch of alcohol. Decent interesting beer. Medium full mouthfeel.

Cloudy caramel with big, fizzy and foamy tan head / LIght, crisp nose of orchard fruit, brett, and caramel / Light to medium body, tart and somewhat sour, with good balance and finish / Sour, a little skunky, flavors of caramel, apples, cherries, cinnamon and brett / Lacks the complexity of the best like Jolly Pumpkin, but very good.

Light orange color. Some carbonation. Light closes and spice, with considerable yeast. There is enough yeast and spice that I thought it was a saison. Good.

courtesy of Chris Beers - pours a cloudy copper-brown colour under a huge foamy beige head; unclean aroma with notes of caramel, yeasts, brandy and undefined spices; medium to full malt body; fresh spicy and bready finish; quite long - interesting

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Color was of brown sugar w/ an off white head. Had a very sour taste with cinnamon. Aroma was with cinnamon, granny smith apple, and cherry. Didn’t care too much for this beer.
