Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Has also been available bottled. Brewed under contract by Hambleton between 2001, when the original Black Dog brewery closed, and 2006 when it was resurrected under new ownership.
A light coloured bitter with a distinctive aroma. A unique flavour with a bitter finish. A light and fruity bitter, Abbey Ale has quickly established itself as one of our customers' favourites, rivalling sales of Rhatas.

Cask, 3 Guineas, Reading. Lightish golden colour with a white head. Fruity aroma. Really pretty tasty stuff, nice balance of hop and tangy fruit. Good finish. Liked this.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel Northampton. A straw golden coloured beer with a creamy white head. The aroma and taste are both lemony citrus and there is a biscuity quality to the malts. Fairly decent.
