Description
Monasteries have been brewing as far back as the sixth century to provide sustenance and benevolence to the communities they served. Water-borne epidemics during this period were commonplace, and the boiling of beer during the brewing process, made it a far healthier option than the town’s water supply.

So Monks Brewed.

What made monastic breweries different was that the monks brought patience, process and dedication to the practice of brewing. At Monkless, there are no monks, but this is our devotion. We practice patience to perfection in our brewing process, and focus exclusively on Belgian-style ales.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Beer Mongers, PDX. Was glad I could find a couple cans of their beer, since I somehow missed out on Monkless while in Bend last month. Clean and clear, big bright golden pour, a lasting thick foam head. Aroma is both fruity and spicy, with a little floral activity as well. Flavor is much smoother than the strength would suggest. Smooth floral and apple like fruitiness throughout. A smooth and easy drinking tripel with plenty of flavor. Very nice.

16 oz can from Tavour. Nose is candi sugar, citrus, and a hint of funk. Clear urine yellow with a medium, lightly lacing, white head. Flavor is lightly bitter, lightly sweet, and some funk.

16 oz. Can from Tavour. Slightly hazy yellow color. Aroma is mild yeast, light citrus, subtle spice.

The flavor is a carbon copy of the aroma. In general is is a simple style. Peppercorns are subtle (thankfully not over done). This one is still well brewed without any flaws.

Aromaz are super mild to almost non-existent. Flavors are a little stronger slightly citric and spicy a little sweet the Carbonic Tang helps some. Body is on the soft side it's a pleasant beer but nothing too remarkable. A little warmth in The finish, I guess from being an imperial beer.

Crowler from Growler Guys-Bend. Light bodied with nice frothy head. Kind of hazy. Grassy aromas with a hint of savory spice. Peppercorns become more pronounced in the taste, adding a nice crisp snap. Not a huge fan of witbiers, but this one was much better than I expected.
