Greene King Abbot Ale (Cask)

Brewed by Greene King
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Bury St. Edmunds, England

Cask, the Cockney pub. Amber with a nice dense head. Primarily sweet-fruity with apples and berries. Finishes gently earthy-bitter. Pleasent.

Cask conditioned at the Robin Hood & Little John, Cherry Hinton, Cambridge (a Greene King pub). Copper coloured, minimal carbonation. Moderate caramel and malt vinegar aroma. Malty flavour, caramel, low bitterness. ABV is well hidden. OKish, but not really exciting. Disappointing held up to my (failing?) memory of the bottled/canned version. The Old Speck’ is a better choice.

Cask@Charlies. Amber color with small fine head. Nice round taste with a nice balance between the maltyness and the hoppyness.

A malty, but thin experience. Some bitterness end this pretty weak beer. Nothing special about this brew. Pretty ordinary.

Cask and good for it. A good stand by in times of doubt and drought. Fruity, thick and sweet when well kept. All over the place and in bottles and cans too.

on cask in London A very average ESB. Smooth but otherwise unremarkable for the style

cask @ lancaster beer festival, cask @ rat and ratchet huddersfield, cask @ lloyds bar no1, cask @ some random pub in farnham common and some other places! the bottled and canned version of this beer does it no justice. from the cask (provided it’s kept correctly LLOYDS) is one of the primo beers. hence i’ve drunk it in so many places. poured without the sparkle to leave it a little less creamy (not a true yorkshireman obviously!) it goes down a little too well and has left me unable to walk on a few occasions. once saw a guy projectile vomit this still across a bar, to the non amusement of the bar owner!

Cask @ The George Inn. Also bottled and can. Average at best. Suprising because their Olde Suffolk is so good.
