It’s an unassuming road leading to the priory. Here, off the corner of two intersecting roads, dedicated monks have been making beer for over 150 years. It’s always been a simple life — the kind that requires they brew only enough to sustain the activities of their monastery. In the silence of passing seasons, they pray, they brew and retire in solitary existence behind the sheltering walls. They live a most interesting life. Most likely one we couldn’t sustain.

Nearby, each summer, the trellised fields spring to life as rows of resinous green cones are trained toward the heavens. Rumor is some monks love these hops and being surrounded by budding yellow aromas and the leafy pungent fields inspired them. Since we aren’t sensible enough to locate our brewery near hop fields, we can only offer this blond ale in celebration of our Abbey brethren and their steadfast Devotion.

Good Belgian blonde ale, with a subtle sweetness offset by uber-dry noble hops and a lingering grassy finish. Mild spiciness on the back end rounds out the subtle fruit notes, while hints of clove and straw add complexity. Lingering hoppy bitterness on the fade almost seems pilsner-ish, but yeast and an underlying sweetness provide balance. Nose seems lacking in much Belgian goodness; not much else to fault. Not my favorite, but the pint seemed to disappear rather quickly.

Aus der Flasche beim Berlin Beer Week 2015 - Closing Event auf der Baustelle der Stone Brewing Berlin 2015-07 getrunken. Diese trübe Ale hat eine schöne Hefenote und ein recht leichten Körper. Nicht schlecht!

On tap at the brewery. Golden with a small white head. Sweetish with yeast, fruit and some spices. An ok one.
