New Belgium Abbey

Smells of an IPA. Leaves a tingly aftertaste with hints of bitter fruit. Ok for an abbey.

12 oz. bottle. Pour was a rich amber color with a creamy tan head. Aromas of spiced fruit, bubble gum and bananas. Flavors really open up as the beer warms with clove, cherry, plum and banana up front and a slight finish of citrus, pepper, and pine. Nice American version of a Belgium classic.

Pours a nice deep brown with a thick head that goes away but leaves a nice lace. The Aroma is nice a little spicy with some brown sugar notes. Flavor is different largely sweet with some spicy clove flavors and a pronounced fruitiness with some plum and mild banana. There is some cotton candy sweetness that sort of gets in the way of the greatness of this, but it’s generally a very nice little beer.

Pours clear dark brown with a red tinge to it with a thick tan head that looks quite creamy. There is a good amount of constant aroma release due to the secondary yeast addition. Fruit and sweet tart aroma with a clove-like spice. Banana fruitiness which is sweet and bitter at the same time. Toffee aftertaste lingers. Beer laces well. Thanks Butters.

Pretty nice dubbel. Pours a beautiful clear ruby. Has a lively white head which dissipates almost immediately with no lacing. Lots of yeast flavor with plenty of bubblegum and banana. Finishes semi-sweet with slight alcohol warmth. Good beer.
