Year of New Beer: Spencer Trappist Ale, Spencer Brewery (MA)

Written By: Dion on 02/13/2015

Really nice aroma on this beer as the Belgian yeast really stands out. Floral, fruity notes are present as well, with a sugary pear and apple skin resting atop traces of honeysuckle. On the tongue, the apple sweetness is fleeting, pushed aside by clove and a slightly chalky mineral water. The sweetness returns mid-palate in the form of banana and white grape. Mild hop bitterness with a crisp, slightly dry finish. Excellent.
