Belgian-style Abbey Single spiced with elderflowers. Related to the Oblate, monks would often brew and consume this beer as a table beer. With a slight indulgence, the beer has a stronger hop and elderflower presence. This golden-colored beer is crisp, spicy, and quenchable.

Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and crisp. Mild minerals. Light malts, thin creamy sweetness. Spice. Floralness. Elderflower? Yes but very well buried. Trace of banana ester. It’s clean but table beers generally leave me wanting more and this is no exception.

Bottle. Clear deep golden liquid with medium to big white head. Aroma of white pepper, grain, spices, earth and noble hops. Taste is dry and light bitter with notes of white pepper, grain, wheat, earth and spices. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation. Pretty nice but not in the best condition I think.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours bright gold with a large creamy white head. Aroma is earthy/floral with yeast. Med body. Seems a little wheaty? Flavor is sort of earthy/floral saison. Odd flavor notes. But it all works well together. Finishes tasty, bitter, hoppy.
