Spencer Trappist Ale is inspired by the traditional refectory ales brewed by monks for the monks’ table.
St Joseph’s Abbey in Massachusetts is home to a community of Trappist monks and the first American Trappist brewery. The monks pursue a simple life of contemplative prayer, manual labour and hospitality. The brewery helps to support their monks and their charitable outreach.
Spencer is a full bodied, golden hued ale with fruity accents, light hop bitterness and a dry finish.

Lacks the alcoholic kick of it’s peers but this is a tasty, high quality Belgian-style ale. Would definitely drink again. 4.25/5

Though not strong, for an American Trappist brewery to reproduce the distinctive Belgian flavour is impressive.
