Abbey Belgian Style Ale

New Belgium Brewing Co.

Ft. Collins, Colorado, USA

Bottle-conditioned, dark amber-brown ale with a deep red tint. Effusively complex fruitiness includes bananas. Hop aroma is absent. Mouth feel is medium-bodied. Fruitiness continues in the flavor. The perception of bitterness is relatively low, but with high maltiness and fruitiness, this impression may be deceiving because of the malt sweetness and banana. Many interesting flavors engage the palate in several stages. Fruitiness and banana are main characters, with fullness of pale, caramel and brown malts playing a supporting role. Bitterness is always in the background, emerging only for a cameo role and sensible lingering in the aftertaste. Surely the bottle refermentation is key to evolving the complex character of this wonderful ale. Worthy of the honor it has received.
