Patersbier

"Made only from pilsner malt, hops, and yeast, the complexity that results from these simple ingredients is staggering: perfumey floral hops, ripe pear fruit, sour apple, spicy cloves, candied citrus and a slight biscuit character on the drying finish ... a monks' session beer. "

Nothing explains a Patersbier better than that last line, "a monk's session beer" lol, if a monk's gonna have a few beers this is what he's going to have. A Patersbier is a Belgain Ale, a session beer.



0.5 lbs CaraPils
1 oz Tradition hops (60 min)
0.5 oz Saaz hops (10 min)
6 lbs Pilsen malt extract syrup
Wyeast 3787 Trappist

Yup, you guessed it, another beer for our Lawnmower Series.


I was able to create the label at http://www.beerlabelizer.com/ , it's a great new site for beer labels, one of the guys from HBT created it.














Bottled this tonight, started at 10:30 didn't finish cleaning up til 2:00 AM, only able to get 48 bottles from this batch, had hoped on 50-54 but can't complain.   Everything went according to plan from the priming sugar to bottling, real smooth. Had a Hopfish IPA and a 220z Arrogant Bastard (first one) while bottling, that helped the process along some lol..

Well as you can see by the pics below, this came out better than advertised lol..Good body and mouthfeel, went down real easy, great lawnmower beer to add to our Lawnmower Series, or Summerfest brews. I also edited the label a little.
