Greene King Abbot Ale (Pasteurised)

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

500 ml clear bottle: poured clear orange with a frothy off white head. Surprisingly no skunky aroma with this one, just a bunch of hops with some light malt notes. Flavor is all hops. Bitter finish. Slight fruitiness. Good.

Clear amber body with a large creamy off-white heaed that persists. Sweet earthy and floral hops aroma on a caramel background. Slightly resiny hops. Light grainy malt hints. Sweet caramel flavor with a dry finish. Bitterness in the finish. Very smooth body with low carbonation.

500 ml bottle. Medium-sized and short-lived tan head. Clear amber colored body. Not very aromatic; some toffee/caramel notes and mild hops to the nose. Taste is more expressive; lightly toasted sweet malts with a well prononced hopbitterness. Fruity tones. Light to medium body. Lasting finish with mild and pleasant bitterness.

Hummm I know what an ale is now and that’s what it tastes like... I’ve had better

0.5 l bottle. Copper color with small head. Good perfumed and biscuity aroma with tart fruitiness, caramel, wood, lemon and pine. Biscuity malt, some caramel, toffee, fruity esters and some salty minerals in the flavor. More bitterness, please!

500 ml. nitro-can, coded freshness date on the bottom of can, sampled in a imperial pint glass. Nice looking nitro pour, active carbonation with a large frothy off-white head that settled into a creamy lacing. Orangey amber in color, clear appearance. Sweet grainy nose, hints of toffee and a good English hop smell, floral and candy fruity. Smooth creamy body, silky in the palate, quite agreeable and easy to consume. Tastes of toasted caramel, toffee and bready malts. Mildly bitter hops, flowery, earthy, woody and seedy. Towards the end the hop fruitiness emerges, enhanced by the alcohol. Finishes semi-dry, mild malt and hop flavors linger a bit in the aftertaste. My favorite beer from the Greene King brewery, I would like to try this from the cask sometime, for a nitro-can ale, delivers a lot of flavor. 500 ml. nitro-can, coded freshness date on the bottom of can, sampled in a imperial pint glass.

Pours reddish amber with small off white head. Dissapaites pretty quickly though. Aromas of malt and hops, with slight hint of fruit. Flavours of hops, roasted malt, biscuit, nuts, and caramel. Medium body with hoppy bitter finish. Decent bitter.

500 ml can. pours copper with an average off white head. nice malty nose with caramel the big player and feint hop floralness. flavours are well rounded with malt giving way to hop. a bit thin but overall a good bitter.
