St.-Feuillien; Brune Abbey Ale: Goes well with Phở

St.-Feuillien: Brune Abbey Ale.

What the bottle says: "St-Feuillien, a unique top-fermenting ale, has been brewed by the Friart family since 1873, respecting old traditions. This natural ale undergoes two fermentations. Full of flavor, mellow, St-Feuillien is highly recommended for gourmet taste."

Country & City Brewed: Le Rœulx, Belgium.
Alcohol Content: 7.5%
Meal eaten with: Phở (Phở Quyen 2)
Bottle/Can/Tap: Bottled (1 pint, 9.4 fl oz)

Nicole's reaction: Initially thought it tasted like applesauce. Enjoyed the taste and got a pretty quick buzz considering Nate and I split it. I'm a bit biased towards Belgian beers because they rule so much. Not a personal favorite but not a chore to drink either.

Nathan's reaction: It was okay. It didn't have too much flavor, but it went down easily. "That's what she said." On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 6.
