Ename Pater
Ename Pater is a light Belgian pale ale modelled on the patersbier, the lower-strength table beer that monks once brewed for their own daily use. It is unfiltered and refermented in the bottle, and hops added toward the end of fermentation give it much of its character. Citrus, fresh herbs and green hop notes lead the nose. The body stays light and lively, and the finish is dry and distinctly hoppy, with a clean bitterness that lingers.
