Commercial Description:
In the small village of Meer, north of the city of Antwerp, there used to be an abbey which was famous for its beer named St. Paul. During the French Revolution, the abbey was destroyed and so it was said-one father named Paul, rescued the secret recipes to brew the abbey beer and trust them onto the local Sterkens family, at that time a renowned brewer family. The Sterkens family had been brewing beer since 1654, and their St. Paul abbey beer is still brewed today, respectfully according to the centuries old tradition.

Retired or not, I have this sitting in front of me right now. This expereince is enhanced by the fact that I found this in a shop in Santiago, not the home of beers by any stretch of the imagination. What a delight. Grat copper hue with a firm creamy head. A melange of dried fruit and a touch of aniseed give this a great nose. The flavour is as succulent with a pleasant dryness adding to the complex mix of fruit. This is everything a good Belgian needs to be. Boy, do I love those words Cervezas Belgas. And only 2,000 pesos!

Decent yeast with fruit, some roatiness and spot of bitterness here. Good session ale. Had at Beer Bistro Winterfest, and hung in together with Westys’ and other fine Belgiums for sampling. Beautiful lace, medium-full mouthfeel. Hops

I tried this beer on November 1, 2007 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto. The beer poured a dark reddish brown colour with a thick, fluffy, off-white head that lingers. The aroma was a compbination of malt, yeast, and subtle hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with mild carbonation. The flavour was yeasty with some malt in the background.

Hmmm...Not bad. A full head of foam finally disipates into a fruity, comforting beer. A great full mouth-feel.
