French-style ale: Bière de Garde
Radiant Beer Co. and St. Michael's Abbey joined forces to celebrate four much venerated saints: this is the ABBEY SERIES. Our second entry, Sanctus Norbertus, is a complex fermentation, one prompting notes of dried apricot, bosc pear, ginger, and white pepper, backed by a delicate baked bread malt profile and noble hop character. The sunset golden pour boasts eggshell white foam and high carbonation among dry but warming sips, floating between stone fruit and light grass. Come drink like the monks of new.

Pours a deep old gold color with abundant foam in the Kölsch glass. Aromatic with plum and straw, and some peppery notes. Spritzy and full-bodied on the tongue. Rich and malty but also fruity and tangy. Tastes of apple with hints of lemon. Also grainy and malty with dried pear. Spicy and fruity but with the distinctive dry Belgian yeasty finish. Just a touch of welcome bitterness in the aftertaste. This is one of the most interesting and drinkable beers I've had this year. From the 16 oz can purchased at Bine & Vine. Canned the week of June 2, 2025.
