Commercial Description:
Winner of four World Beer Cup medals and eight medals at the Great American Beer Fest, Abbey Belgian Ale is the Mark Spitz of New Belgium’s lineup - but it didn’t start out that way. When Jeff and Kim first sampled the beer at the Lyons Folks Fest, reviews were mixed at best. One of founder Jeff’s first two Belgian style homebrews (along with Fat Tire), Abbey is a Belgian dubbel (or double) brewed with six different malts and an authentic Belgian yeast strain. Abbey is bottle-conditioned, weighs in at 7.0% alcohol by volume, and pairs well with chocolate (or boldly served by itself) for dessert.

Bottle; Nose of caramel. cloves, and sweet spices. Light brown with a big beige head. Sweet, spicy flavor with hints of fruit and alcohol, a little bit of tartness creeps in at times.

Bottle: Poured a darker than expected brown/amber color with a nice head. Aroma is yeast and fruit, very true to the style. Taste is a well balanced fruity, nutty, malty, and spicey blend. Complex, yet smooth.

12 oz bottle-trade w/after4ever. Poured a dark brown color w/a moderate tan foamy head & good lacing. Nutty, roasted, grassy, Belguim aroma. Sweet, fresh, crisp, nutty flavor with a lot of carbination, reminds you a little of a brown ale. Definite classic Belgium flavor. Long finish-very refreshing. Another good brew from New Belgium. Thanks for this one Tom!!!

A medium brown red pour with an aroma of malt and yeast. A hint of coriander and sweet roasted malts. A pleasant alcohol warmness. A decent hint of bitter in the finish. An enjoyable beer with just about the right amount of carbonation for the style.

12 oz bottle. Clear orange brown with a creamy tan head. Leaves a garland of lace. Yeast, bubblegum and bananas. Sharp carb. A little thin and oily. Mild caramel and club soda. Some orange and green banana creep in. Bready finish.
