Our Belgian Blonde Ale is one of a kind. The most prominent feature of this beer is the yeast. The yeast is allowed to ferment at much higher temperatures than normal. This produces a much more complex and robust yeast profile and leaves the beer dry, accentuating these flavors. Expect a gentle dance of complex fruit and subtle spice characters on your palate. Freshly ground black peppercorns and coriander are also added late into the boil to lightly accent the magnificent flavors from the yeast.

Monk on the Radio has a medium, foamy, white head, a hazy (after the "swish & pour"), amber appearance, some lazy bubbles, and minimal glass lacing. The aroma is of spiced white bread, and the flavor is the the same, with some odd pepper note. Mouthfeel is medium, a bit chalky, and a tad slick. Monk on the Radio finishes dry.

First time tasting one from this brewer, and I'm pretty impressed. I believe they just began bottling.
The appearance is the only real drawback. Not head whatsoever even when agitated. Taste is smooth with a nice blend of spices, definitely some coriander in there which I approve. Mouthfeel is full and on the creamy side. It's dangerously drinkable at 8.2% and something I wouldn't mind having in rotation.

I think that this beer has a lot more to it than people tend to give it credit for. A quickly dissipating but strong white head, mild-medium carbonation, and a good balance of light bitterness from the hops and and a fruity quality that makes for a smooth finish. A great beer from a very young brewery.
