A session ale in the farmhouse tradition, this beer gets its name because it was first brewed on March 21 and first served on July 11, the two annual feasts of St. Benedict. Bears the fresh aroma of yeast. Complex flavor for a lighter beer, with a slightly tart and peppery finish. Stands well as a cold beverage on a summer day. ABV about 4.7%.

On tap at the Benedictine. Hazy yellow color with a modest white head, very aggressive carbonation, almost champagne-esque. On the nose I get honey and citrus, some sage and fennel. Taste wise this brew is all about light snappy hops with fennel, rose petals, chamomile, shifting into crackery breadcrumb malt, an obvious Belgian ale yeast profile (banana and clove) , and a touch of cedar bark. The mouthfeel is impressively light, playful, and snappy.

This is a fantastic Farmhouse Ale, very unique.

Pale gold in color and fully transparent with a towering head of snow white foam, Saint Benedict is a bit lighter than expected for the style, but plenty attractive in the glass. Honey on toast, white pepper, nectarine, dried sage, and a soft graininess stand out in the nose. Floral and fragrant. Light bodied and slightly sweet with a subtle fruitiness and a fleeting, semi-dry finish, Benedictine has made an approachable farmhouse ale, although a bit more body and some additional bitterness would be nice. As is, the flavor is predominantly malt and yeast. Drinkable and sessionable at 4.7 percent, this is a good beer from a new brewery.
