Greene King Brewery - Abbot Ale

Believe it or not, I tried my first pint of Abbot Ale from a crate at a funeral. I know that's not very conventional, however it most certainly didn't detract from it's taste.

Anyway, I thought it rude not to try it again, so here we are. Taking the cap off and giving it a sniff, straight away you get blown over by the fruityness. 

Pouring it into the glass was a delight to behold. Sod all these other beers and their ruby colour! This beer has an astounding deep amber colour that looks sensational in the sunshine. Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself:

 

Brewed in Bury St Edmunds, this pint is a traditional English ale, brewed with perfect balance of hops and malt to give it a well-rounded flavour. It's also worth mentioning it's fruity smooth texture and strong carbonation. Quite deceiving for a TEA, at 5% it's rich for it's pale colour, but still delightful!

I'll give this lovely ale a 7 out of 10. Yes it's very nice but I need a greater depth of flavour to give it those extra marks. As it's quite rich, enjoy this beer with a light snack, preferably crisps or chips.

Happy drinking,
