This session-strength Belgian Single delivers a refreshing, high-attenuation experience at a modest 3% ABV. The pour reveals a brilliant pale gold body beneath a persistent, billowy white foam. Aromatically, it leads with expressive Belgian yeast, offering nuances of white pepper, clove, and a touch of orchard fruit like pear and apple. A delicate, crackery Pilsner malt base provides a light, grainy foundation for the spicy and floral continental hop profile. The palate is bone-dry and effervescent, showcasing a firm bitterness that cleanses the tongue. It drinks with the crispness of a pale lager but carries the intricate fermentation complexity typical of a monastic table beer.
