Abbey Monk's Wit




The first thing to note about the beer is it is around ten bucks a six pack. While it is not cheap, the beer is worth the price at least for one try or for beer fans a definite rebuy. It can be found at most liquor stores but not within most regular markets. The bottle and the box are very noticeable with bright yellow coloring over a darker back ground, as well as the bottle have reflective gold rings that catch the eye. This is a great marketing ploy to get the beer noticed, or to at least peck the interest of any with A.D.D. 

The beer is a good example of a Belgian Monk Beer. It has a crisp flavor that would only benefit from the addition of a slice of orange or other citrus fruit. It has a golden yellow color, and is cloudy enough to barely be seen through. A quality that all good beers should have. It pours easy, but has a tendency to foam if an inexperienced drinker tried to pour the bottle. A weizen beer glass is recommended. The spices within it give the beer a sweet aroma.  It would pair well with a strong soft cheese or dried citrus fruit. It is a great beer, while a little weak for this captains taste, and should be added to the “to try” list for any out there who would like to expand their beer pallet.
