Sterling is the only ingredient the brewery names. The banana bread, clove and pear in the description are tasting notes, not listed additions. A separate variant, Feral Garden Gnome with Strawberry and Banana, appears in the brewery's beer archive and is a different beer.

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline has no style named Belgian-Style Abbey Ale; its nearest abbey style, Belgian-Style Dubbel, calls for 6.3 to 7.6 percent ABV and 20 to 40 IBU. The published 6.7% ABV falls inside that range, though the brewery labels the beer a blonde rather than a dubbel.
