From the label

“Label states 'BELGIAN ALE' — a broad Belgian ale designation. 'Monk's Cafe' name and Belgian origin (Br. Van Steenberge, Ertvelde, Belgium) suggest a Belgian blonde/pale ale style, but no more specific substyle is printed. Inferred belgian_blonde from copy/context; TTB class 952 ALE used as floor. Brewed & kegged by Br. Van Steenberge in Belgium, imported by WIN-IT-TOO Inc. Middleton, MA USA — contract/import relationship confirmed by 'for' importer structure and geography split.”
