Finally had a change to brew this up, picked it up from Northern Brewer, this crisp monastic session brew is made in the tradition of an Abbey Enkel (aka “Single,” but you might also know it as “Blonde," "5," or "6"). Twisted Enkel is light-bodied and straw colored, with a modest alcohol content and judicious hopping that makes it equally suitable for handing out to pilgrims staying outside your cloister or for general thirst-quenching duty on a hot day. A small finishing addition of Saaz hops lends a subtle floral character, while Wyeast's Canada/Belgium ale yeast brings bready and fruity flavor and a light pear aroma to the glass.
0.75 lbs Belgian Cara 8
0.25 lbs Biscuit Malt

1 oz Hersbrucker (60 min)
0.5 oz Saaz (60 min)
0.5 oz Saaz (5 min)
WYEAST 3864 Canadian /Belgian Ale.
you can already see it bubbling away, the one behind is the Patersbier.
Bottles this up Saturday night, looked real good, wort tasted great, can't wait to try this one. Going to make a labels for this one. One label for the poll winner and one for Makayla, we'll call that Makayla Blonde.
Picked up a set of Sam Adams beer glasses at Total Wine this week, figure I'd break them in when I crack open this batch, right now it's going to be called both Twisted Blonde (poll winner) and Makayla Blonde.
This came out pretty good, as clear as I can probably get it since I am doing Partial Boils, it had a decent body to it, finished nice and dry also, I will definitely be brewing this up again, maybe soon. I'll definitely be drinking a few more tonight :)
Finally had a chance to make the Twisted Blonde label, should have the Makayla Blonde label up soon.
This was actually the other Twisted Blonde label I made, came out alright but decided against it, should have used a pic of Courtney Love or something lol..
