An amber ale brewed in the spirit of the abbey ales of Belgium. Lectio Divina gets its color from candi sugar, as it is made without dark or crystal malts. It is brewed with the same care and attention to the Art of Brewing that is practiced in the monastic breweries of Belgium.

Tasting at Papsø
Red-amber color; the head, initially large, disappears quickly. The aroma is not very positive: medical alcohol, Band-Aid, glue, nail polish, some Bretts and very light fruits and vinegar. Caramel flavor, dry, with light nail polish presence, alcohol. Unpleasant, I won’t drink one more sip.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of TheCheeseMan. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head. Rather sophisticated aroma of Brett and acetone. Medium body, sweet overripe dark fruits and marzipan - again quite complex. Massive carbonation. Ends dry. Delicious. 230410

Bottle at Chriso Gaylord tasting 09. Cloudy orange/brown colour, lasting beige head. Airfix glue aroma. And malt vinegar. Bit better in mouth, but pretty bad. What a difference from the Saison Athene which was stunning.

2009 Bottle. Nearly got killed by the cork, again, and it sent my dog cowering behind a chair (scared the crap out of him). Bottle gushed about a third of its contents. The beer continued to repeatedly gush over the rim of my glass once I had poured it as well (go figure...). Huge tan head, murky brown body with floaties. Aroma is muted with bread, spice, candi sugar and dark fruits. Taste is bready, slightly metallic, with dark fruits, candied sugar, apple and tangerine. Over carbonated and dry mouthfeel. Didn’t really float my boat.

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.

Pours deep amber into a tulip. Tan head recedes to skim surface. Balsamic and spicy fruit aromas. Crisp and well balance - sweet summer fruits upfront turning sour and lemony in the lasting finish.
