Greene King Abbot Ale (Pasteurised)

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

Bottle. Clear copper-amber color with a medium beige head that disappears quite fast. Aroma of hops, slightly earthy, with fruits, light citrus and some malt with biscuit hints. Flavor begins sweetish and malty with a bit of caramel and some fruitiness and finishes hoppy with a rather strong bitterness and light metallic notes. Light-medium body. Quite nice.

Another very nice but not great english ale. Maybe a little bland put hit all the riht notes with me. Not overly sweet and small head. Good balance.

Quite a strong flavoured beer is Abbot Ale. at 5% quite strong as well. Actually its alright this one, realy interesting texture and flavour, some grass perhaps as well as malt and hops in a very amber apperance. Just does not taste right really, I cant recommend this beer from Greene King. Also often feel crap in the morning from this.

500mL can purchased from LCBO in Toronto. Pours a clear, medium gold with little head. Decent malty aroma. Enjoyed on a warm night, just after finishing some work and before a downpour started - so I could be "refreshing beer" biased. I’m even having it fridge-cold. And it IS hitting the spot right now. Not complicated. Smooth upfront with decent maltiness, turning into fruity English hoppiness as it goes down. Better than I expected.

Clear amber of color with a offwhite head. An aroma with notes of apples, malt, hops and metallic. A flavor with notes malt, metal and hops notes.

moderado aroma de malte, permeado por notas de manteiga e açúcar mascavo, conferindo-lhe 6 entre 10 pontos possíveis nesse quesito. Em termos de aparência, a espuma apresenta início pequeno, coloração branca e virtualmente nenhuma formação de colarinho. A longevidade da espuma é pequena, e a claridade do corpo é opaca. O corpo é ralo, de coloração cobre. Sabor inicial levemente doce e amargo, amargor leve esse que persiste até o final, de duração média. No paladar, um corpo leve-médio, auxiliado por textura ligeiramente oleosa (bem menor que às de Guinness e Wexford Irish Ale, por exemplo), carbonatação ’choca’ e final lembrando giz). Agradável e suave doçura maltada. Baixo amargor em relação a outras ESB.
