Our recipe was inspired by the traditional refectory ales known as patersbier (“fathers’ beer” in Flemish) in Belgium. These sessionable beers are brewed by the monks for their dinner table and are typically only available at the monastery. Spencer is a full-bodied, golden-hued ale with fruity accents, a dry finish and light hop bitterness. The beer is unfiltered and unpasteurized, preserving live yeast that naturally carbonates the beer in the bottle and keg and contributes to the beer flavor and aroma.

Kicsi gyorsan eltűnő hab, félbarnába hajló szín. Gabonás, enyhén fűszeres, füves illat. Gabonás, füves, kissé fűszeres ízek, némi karamellel. Könnyű, közepesen keserű, közepesen szénsavas. Finom, friss, jó egyensúllyal rendelkező, üdítő nedű.

Pours a hazy copper color. It smells of spicy yeast and malt. The sweet flavor has the characteristic spicy Belgian yeast with malt and some fruity notes. It finishes somewhat dry. Quite good.

Bottle. Deep gold with an off white head. Aroma of citrus blossoms, peach, somewhat cheesy yeast. Certainly yeasty but fairly light and fruity with a neatly bitter finish. Perhaps a little strong for what it offers but pretty nice.

(Bottle) Pale amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy off-white head. Fruity, spicy nose with notes of dried apricots, yeast, spices (cardamom, coriander), orange peel, hay and bread. Fruity, spicy taste with apricots, orange peel, crisp-bread, honey, yeast and a mild spicy bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Really tasty and well balanced. Great beer.

Medium/light body with a nice first taste but the aftertaste is a bit too perfumed/fruity for my liking.
