Thanks to dogbrick, I was able to recieve one of these ales. It is tasy stuff with a nice gold color. Light and smooth with a slight bitterness that I like.

Not too bad for an English Ale. There is a little bit of a fruity bight and also a taste of malt. The two don’t mix together very smoothly, but this is a pleasant-drinking ale, nonetheless.

Really enjoyed this beer. Deep amber colour with a smooth palate and a honey taste. One of the better english beers I have had. Will have again

Fairly ordinary ale, very light fruit background, decent malts, but not much character. Not very complex.

Bottled. This is not nearly as good as the cask version; it definitely tastes pasteurised. The flavours are less fruity than the cask version also; here it is caramel and vanilla. Too strong to be a session beer anyway, after three bottles of this I was enjoying it less than the first one.

Not a very impressive beer. Light coloured, rather like amber in fact. There is just something rather unpleasant about Abbot Ale. Leaves an unpleasant aftertaste.
