Corsendonk Belgian Pale Ale

Corsendonk, Brewed at Du Bocq in Pernode Belgium. The Corsendonk Priory dates from 1659, it was shut down in 1789 by Austrian Emperor Joseph II, again in 1789 during the French Revolution the properties were seized and auctioned off. From the 19th century forward Monks no longer make the beer but it's logos and taste reflect an abbey style.

Fermented twice, once with top fermentation and the second time in the bottle. It is matured for three weeks before being sent out. A six month aging period is recommended for a better result.
