Devotion

United States·Belgian Blonde Ale
Tap to rate

Fresh hay and grassy fields come through in the aroma of this Belgian blonde, with a subtle spice from aromatic European hops and very little yeast phenol. The body stays light: a brief layer of malt gives way to a hop-driven, very dry finish. A tribute to monastic brewers and their steadfast devotion, at 6% ABV.

A dry finish unfolds across the mid-palate, the bitterness measured at 22 IBU providing structure without harshness, while underlying notes of honey and subtle fruit flesh out the profile.
