This blurb from the kit got covered in beer so we had to paraphrase some of it:
"From the little-known Lutheran monasteries of Northern Minnesota comes this artisanal blonde abbey pale, self-effacing, and easy to get along with, this Belgian style blond ale features the same generous malt profile and spicy yeast as the stronger Dubbels and Tripels, but its more modest gravity...so you can enjoy a couple and remain upright and hard-working.."

This is another great beer. Best after about 3-4 weeks in the bottle. earns its reputation for having a delicate bread-tasting maltiness and a low hop profile. A good 3 season beer for a 3 season porch.
I don't know. Still good but maybe I'm getting sick of it. I think that after about 2 of these they become too sweet...Ursa minor described them as "syrupy."
Do you know any more about the actual monasteries? I'm interested in doing some research on them and can't find much beyond the Northern Brewer beer description.
