Welcome Back Pater
This is a Belgian Patersbier. Hard to find outside of monasteries in Belgium, this is known as the monks "lawnmower beer." This beer is made by a second rinse of the grains after they brew a heavy beer, such as a tripel or quad. The residual sugars still in the grain are brewed as a separate beer that is more sessionable and allowed the monks to be attentive while doing chores.
