Once upon a time in a valley, a beautiful countess lost something precious to her in a small pond. Racked with grief, she prayed for its return. Very quickly it resurfaced in the most wondrous of ways. After her prayers had been answered she blessed the pond and valley. Later, she had an abbey built there. Today they brew beer and while we were traveling in Belgium we stopped in, heard the story and tried the beer. Really good beer and a great story. Of course, we wanted to share what we'd heard and tasted. Usually we'd do that over beers. This time we did it with a beer. Recreating that experience wasn't easy. It's made with rare yeast that's very difficult to come by. No other beer we make is like this, slightly fruity with a profuse amount of hops, it's great with a plate of fresh mussels. - Greg Hall, Brewmaster. 7% alcohol by volume.
Serve in a wide mouth glass.
