Day 59 - Malt Shovel ABBEY ALE

Beer 59 - Abbey Ale.....first time

Really impressive local in the style of a Belgian Ale. Pours a rich orange/golden colour with a thick creamy head. Surprised when checking the label at the 7% content, as the alcohol was not overbearing on the palate.

Very lively aroma with a flavour and mouthfeel I would compare to Leffe Blonde. Left a solid impression of a wheat beer - but I don't think wheat malt is amongst the ingredients. The colour was surprisingly deep and didn't seem to match it's flavour? Liked it just the same.

My rating....4


Thought for the Day.....You make your own luck - to a point. Beyond that you need to make the most of what is.....what it is!
