Wedge Abbey Ale

Brewed by Wedge Brewing Company
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Asheville, North Carolina USA

Serve in Trappist glass

From the tap at the Wedge brew pub. Not as aromatic or full tasting as some dubbels I’ve had, and not quite as spot on for style as the Wedge’s fantastic Golem (tripel), but this nevertheless is quite enjoyable.

pours a clear gold with moderate head, crisp refreshing qualities, good finish.

Copper with tan head and lace. Light brown sugar and bread on the aroma. Bread brown sugar and Belgian yeast. Medium bodied with good carbonation.

Pours a dark hazy orange with great tan head. Aroma is sweet, and even some bubblegum. Flavor is a little spicy and yeasty. Velvety body. Not bad at all, I was actually rather impressed with this one.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy ruby-brown with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt and light roast. Flavor again of sweet malt and sweet fruits. Only a hint of spices. Pretty chill beer, on the sweet side though. 7/4/7/4/14 [3.6/5]

Tap at Wedge- Nice overall- seemed restrained- I thought it was going to be too fruity or too phenolic, not so. Pours a nice light amber with a thin head. Aroma is nice- biscuit and toasty malts, light honey- very light restrained fruitiness- pear and light raisin, yeasty and doughy but nice. Flavor is yeasty, restrained phenolics- light leather hints, toast, biscuity, light caramel very light fruits, and relatively clean- easy to drink too.

Pours a dark ruby-reddish brown with a tan head. Smells fruity, tastes sweet and roasty. Has a creamy and smooth toffee like finish.

Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a reddish caramel brown with a small head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, candi sugar, peach and pear. Taste is coffee, candi sugar and pineapple. Full bodied.
