Saint Somewhere Lectio Divina

Brewed by Saint Somewhere Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Tarpon Springs, Florida USA

Received in the homebrew mystery swap. Slightly cloudy gold, white head with nice lacing. Nose is lightly fruity cork, some wood, yeast, grapes. Flavor is corky malt, soft yeasty fruit, a bit oxidized in the finish. Very nice.

Bottle from Beerlando. Mostly clear amber with a small beige head. The nose is lightly sweet, vinous and floral with caramel and golden raisins. Flavor is light sweet with cotton candy, toffee, raisins and herbal hops. Medium body is very soft with very light carbonation. Just a bit more attenuation and higher carbonation and this would be outstanding.

Bottle from Degarth - Thanks! Pours a muddy orange and brown with a large beige head. Aroma is fruity and spicey, bits of dark fruit and toffee. Flavor is consistent with aroma with a bit more caramel malt, some raison, and light yeast. Some light floral bitters too. Nice.

750 ml bottle courtesy of PhillyBeer2112. Pour is clear orange golden with visible carbonation bubbles and a one inch cream white head. Aroma of apple sweet-sour, and some yeastiness. Taste is initially the apple sweetness, but gives way quickly to a more sticky, honey sweetness. The finish is a bit long and cloying. Alcohol heat is present throughout the entire flavor. This beer had some nice pieces, but the whole really didn’t come together too well. I do love that a new, smaller brewery is making a beer such as this - daring stuff. Thanks for sending this my way, Dan!

As others have mentioned, this was a very difficult cork to get open, I actually had my cork screw break off in the cork, had to pull it out with a wrench. No worries, it was an old cork screw.

Pours a light amber color with a white head. Aroma is malty, grainy, pear, and earthy hops. Flavor is malty, pear, and a earthy bitter finish.

Small light tan head, fizzy but lasting. Lacing is minimal, somewhat stringy and spotty. Hazy copper hued brew. Light nose of caramel malts, light fruit notes, raisin, plum? Body is lightly medium, lightly oily with a soft carbonation, surprisingly. Lightly sweet malt flavors, caramel with some candy sugar, faint bananna notes and hints of apple cider like flavors. Lightly sweet malty finish. Twas just OK. Bottle purchased @statelineliquors.

murky orange with no head.aroma is candy sugar,oranges,apples,and slight funk.flavor is much of the same with a watery finish.

After their disastrous turn at a saison, I was a little apprehensive about trying this. Thankfully, what I got was a nice little BSA that was quite a surprise. The beer pours out a amberish/orange color with a nice, 3-finger thick head. Aroma was sweet malts/fruity character with a peppery profile that I enjoyed. Taste had mostly the same profile as the aroma, but it had some subtle funkiness to it. Don’t know if that was by accident or infection, but for now it worked. Medium mouth feel with a smooth body. Again, not bad after the train wreck that is their saison.
