Description
St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts, is home to a community of Trappist monks and the first American Trappist brewery. Following the Benedictine tradition of ora et labora (prayer and work), the monks pursue a simple life of contemplative prayer, manual labor and hospitality. The brewery helps support the monks and their charitable outreach. The brewery, being far into the abbey's land, is not open to the public for tours or tastings.

Flaska från belgiuminabox. Västkust-IPA Stor ganska söt kropp, karamell, honung med mycket citrusbeska, tallskott och tyvärr lite orena smaker. Känns inte riktigt färdig men ändå ok.

Bottle at home after being detained for 10 hours by the cops, damn I’m thirsty! Hazy orange golden with nice creamy off white head. Tangerines, light resin, marmalade, caramel, mango, bitter grass. There’s some grapefruit peel as well. Lots of nice fruits! Medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with a bit oily feel. Better than I expected, very decent IPA.
