About This Beer
Northern Monk Patrons Project 47.04 Heathen Sounds is a Belgian Strong Golden Ale that showcases the creativity and collaboration at the heart of modern craft beer. Available for craft beer delivered nationwide, this release gives craft beer Ireland customers access to one of Northern Monk’s most artistic Patrons Project brews.
At 6.5% ABV, Heathen Sounds balances approachability with depth. Built on a complex malt bill, the beer showcases classic Belgian fermentation character — honeyed esters, subtle spice and gentle warmth — enhanced by fresh peach puree that lifts the flavour without overwhelming it. The result is layered, aromatic and dangerously drinkable.
If you enjoy strong, fruit-accented ales, you can browse more distinctive options in our curated Other Beer Styles range, where Belgian-inspired and specialty brews take centre stage.
Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Honeyed malt, ripe peach, floral esters and subtle Belgian yeast spice.
• Flavour: Smooth malt backbone layered with peach puree, light caramel sweetness and delicate peppery yeast character.
• Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with lively carbonation and a deceptively warming finish.
About the Brewery
Founded in Leeds in 2013, Northern Monk has grown into one of the UK’s most respected independent breweries. Their brewing philosophy centres on collaboration, creativity and technical precision. The Patrons Project series represents their most experimental and artist-driven releases, pairing beer with visual art and music to create limited-edition expressions of modern brewing culture.
Heathen Sounds 47.04 continues this tradition, brewed alongside artist Steven Yoyada and Leeds band Din of Celestial Birds. While Northern Monk are renowned for hop-forward IPAs and stouts, they also excel at European-inspired styles, drawing on classic Belgian techniques while adding contemporary flair.
