Bottle at home. Aroma is fruity hops, malt, tropical fruits, pine resin, grapefruit, touch of caramel, orange, mild stone fruits. Flavour is moderate sweet with a surprisingly long bitter finish. Body is medium. This ’monk’s IPA’ is malty, sure, but also surprisingly hoppy with a potent bittersweet flavour. Balance is great, very smooth. Tasty!

I hate that these guys went out of business. They had great beer. Any way. Slightly hazy gold with a two-finger head. Aroma is citrus fruit and pine resin. Taste is also citrus fruit and slight pine resin.

Spencer India Pale Ale, 355-ml-Fläschchen (MHD: 22.10.22) von Hopfen & Malz im Wedding. - Goldbraun, trüb; üppiger und dauerhafter Schaum. - In der Nase kräftige aber gediegene, trocken zitrusfruchtige Hopfung mit deutlicher Altersnote aber gerade deswegen reizvoll. - Antrunk füllig weich und knackig hopfenbitter mit alten Hopfenaromen von kerniger Zitrusfrucht, Zitronenöl, Bitterorange. Schwerer Malzkörper mit tiefer Süße, Honig. Milder rezent, vollmundig, tief. Im Abgang satte zitrusfruchtig-harzige Hopfenbittere. - Außerordentlich gediegenes, satt malztiefes und wuchtig hopfenbitteres IPA, dem leichte Altersspuren zusätzlichen Reiz verleihen; trotz intensiver Hopfung rund und reich. Vielleicht bedurfte es der langen Lagerung, um sein ganzes Potential zu entfalten. (15.10.2022.)

355ml bottle from Beers of Europe and drunk at home. It's dark gold, almost with a hint of olive, and clear. Scent of overripe orange and tropical fruit peel and pine, pine, pine. Taste is far sweeter than I expected from the aroma but the pine is still there in a big way. Finish is a little bit more balanced with more bitterness coming in. Thick oily body with grapefruit and orange oils in the aftertaste. I was really sorry to see Spencer stop brewing, they weren't to everyone's taste but I liked the beers I've had.

Zufällig gefunden in einem tschechischen Craftbiergeschäft und meine letzte Trappistenbrauerei, die ich neu kennen lernen konnte....jetzt habe ich von jeder offiziellen Trappistenbrauerei zumindest ein Bier getrunken. Dies ist ein IPA aus dem Zentrum der IPA-Bewegung, was angeblich dazu führte, dass das Kloster nicht mehr braute. Geschmacklich ist es ein ordentlich bitteres IPA mit feinen Aromen, ist aber nicht so harmonisch wie es andere amerikanische Craftbierschmieden können. Kann man gut und gerne trinken, aber wirklich begeistern kann es nicht.
