COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Saku Abbey toob tänapäeva õllenautijani iidsed /abbey/-tüüpi õlle traditsioonid keskaegsest Belgiast. Sealsetes mungakloostrites on juba sajandeid hoitud unikaalseid õllepruulimise saladusi, mis nüüd esmakordselt jõudnud ka Eestisse. Tänu Saku õllemeistrite virtuoossele pruulimiskunstile ja rafineeritud maitsele on loodud Eesti õllede innovatsioon – Saku Abbey. Pikaajalise ja põhjaliku töö tulemusena on Saku õlleloojad sellesse peitnud tõeliste trapistide ordu pruulikodade parimad maitsevarjundid. Abbey õlut pruulitakse trapistide mungakloostrite juures tegutsenud pruulikodade pinnakäärituse meetodil. Trappist-õlle nimetuse kasutamise õigused on antud siiski ainult 7 kloostrile Belgias ja Hollandis, et tagada õllede ehtsus ning munkade otsene osalus pruulimisprotsessis. Üks põhjusi, miks kloostrites õlut pruulima hakati, oli joogivee küsitavas puhtuses. Vee puhtust sai aga garanteerida vaid vee läbikeetmisega. Kuna õlu kogus Euroopas kosutava joogina populaarsust juba keskajalgi, muutus õlle müük ka kloostrite üheks elatusallikaks. Saku Abbey pakub üllatava naudingu igale õlleasjatundjale, kelle hing otsib uusi maitseelamusi. Eheda ja eksklusiivse abbey-tüüpi õllega võib tervitada ka väärt külalisi meeldivalt hubastel koosviibimistel olenemata aastaajast. Saku Abbey’t sobib serveerida nii aperitiivina kui ka magustoitude juurde, samuti on ta ideaalne kaaslane hõrkude peoroogade – jänes, faasan – kõrval. Õhulise vahu ja rikkaliku aroomibuketiga Saku Abbey on erakordne ühendus värskendavalt puuviljalisest maitsenüansist, peenest lillenoodist ning mahlakast ja humalasest järelmaitsest. Saku Abbey valmistamiseks kasutatakse spetsiaalselt valitud saksa humalaid, millest üht on eriliselt töödeldud aroomi intensiivistamiseks kibedust oluliselt tõstmata. Õlle kaunis kõrbepunane värv annab kõigile märku õllenautija heast maitsest.

estpiwo (938) - ESTONIA - MAR 25, 2008
Beer from 0,5L bottle in one bar in countryside. Maybe best before was passed, I didn’t see the bottle. Amber color, floral aroma. Flavor is fruity, but can feel chemical notes (some Estonian beerlovers think that that beer is Saku Rock and brewery add some chemical extracts). Finish is bitter. And on the next morning ...my head, oh.
