Spencer Trappist Ale
This American Trappist Ale pours a brilliant golden-amber, crowned by a dense, persistent white head. The sensory profile is defined by a vibrant interplay of Belgian yeast esters and phenols, specifically evoking notes of ripe apple and succulent peach set against a backdrop of spicy clove and cracked black pepper. The malt presence remains delicately supportive with a light honey and cracker character. It transitions into a floral hop finish that is notably dry and crisp. This Belgian Single balances a refined effervescence with a soft malt palate, delivering a sophisticated, highly attenuated experience that honors traditional monastic table beers.
Appearance. Light amber to medium gold with a slight, natural haze from being unfiltered. Features a generous, compact, and long-lasting billowy white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity yeast-forward bouquet. Dominant esters of apple and peach are balanced by spicy phenols of clove and black pepper. Low, supportive bready and grainy-sweet malt aroma with a hint of honey. Hop character is subtle but present, offering a floral and spicy Continental quality.
Taste. Initial impression of soft, grainy-sweet malt with honeyed biscuit notes, quickly overtaken by spicy yeast phenols and fruity esters of stone fruit. Hop bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, providing a crisp counterpoint to the malt. The finish is notably dry and clean, with lingering notes of floral hops and a touch of peppery spice.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. High carbonation creates a lively, prickly sensation on the tongue. Despite the slightly elevated strength for the style, alcohol warmth is very subtle and well-integrated.
