Commercial Description:
Abbey Blonde We have endeavored to produce an Abbey Blonde ale in the Belgian tradition. Brewed with imported malt, hops, and cane sugar, our Belgian yeast blend produced a spicy, floral, perfumy beer with a dry finish. Pepper, rosehips, and sage come to mind. 6.7% ABV, 25 IBU

Bottle. Pale hazy golden colour. Thick white head. The aroma is pretty intense and quite herbal and spicy. Very aromatic with a light bretty minerally character. Herbal and fruity with apricot notes over a very flinty, dry maltiness. This is pretty solid stuff.

Poured a hazy yellow color with a white head. Citrus and yeasty with spicy notes on the base. Citrusy and yeasty mixes in with the malt for the flavor. Spiced finish. Light and fruity.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden body with a 3 finger white foamy head. Sweet malty with a floral perfume like hop character. Very strong spiced beer on the tongue feels like pins and needles, someone hit me with a lyrica. Pepper spice but something much stronger. A very dry finish. Dont try to drink this out of a bottle it explodes in your mouth...thats what...

Poured a lightly hazy golden color with a medium sized white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of vanilla, citrus, floral, fruits, honey, toasted dough, and light spice. Taste of toasty dough, citrus, toffee malts, light vanilla, pils malt, peaches, and some bitterness in the finish.
