Abbot Ale Beer, 24 x 500ml
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with sweet malt base and the typical english bitterness through the drink. Cask ale pulled into a shaker pint glass on a sunny June afternoon at The George in Southwark, London. Abbot is an irresistible ale with masses of fruit characters, a malty richness and superb hop balance.

Drop some thoughts on the beer's attributes (look, smell, taste, feel) plus your overall impression. It is probably not fair to compare a cask-conditioned sample against the bottled versions most likely being rated on BA, which would explain why my scores are higher than average. Let us take you on a behind-the-scenes look at our brewing process, from raw ingredients right through to the final pint. I'll be honest, I first had this beer four years ago and didn't really like it, but I think I might have had a bad or expired can.I was familiar with this beer in the 1990s, primarily from bottles when I lived near the brewery while on a military assignment in the UK. Bursting with malty, biscuity and fruit cake character from the mixture of pale, amber and crystal malts. It is brewed longer to a unique recipe, which makes it the full-flavoured, smooth and mature beer it is today. The flavors and aromas were good for a classic English ale, and it was one of the best cask ales I had on that trip. Not my favorite by no means (that would be the ESB from Propeller in Nova Scotia, Canada) but overall a nice English bitter.

Masses of tropical fruits and floral fragrance from the hops in particular the fragrant, floral and spicy fuggles. I would say this beer is unbalenced, with the sweet carmel malt taking center stage and not leaving room for much else.
