Bottle. From LIVA, Domhusvej, Kolding. Pours a clear amber with lots of bubbles reaching up to a small creamy off-white head.Aroma has caramel mixed with a little bitterness. Flavour is sweet, but with a peppery burning hops note. Not the longest aftertaste, nor the craziest regular taste. But it is nice, medium bitter, quite sweet and very fresh. I like it despite its mediority.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet malty with light flowery notes from the hops, leading to a slightly bitter finish.

Nice copper, with a loose foamy head on top. Very bubbly. Sweet, fruity woodsy aroma. Sweet and caramelly at first, then a restrained hop finish, perhaps a bit musty tasting.

Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry and Blankboy, Paul’s bottle from England. Medium rusty copper, small bubbly orange like head. Bready, tinny metallic aroma. Taste is ok - very thin foamy body, metallic hops, mild malt. I’ll take the Abbot in cans any day over this, boring and uninspired.

Bottle (500ml). Shared with blankboy and tupalev, blankboy’s bottle from England. Clear reddish-amber, average frothy head. Sweet light malt aroma, floral hops that get a little funky with warming, a little apricot. Taste - interesting - some dry bitter herbal hops, but mostly tart rhubarb and peach. Thin body, harshly bitter, quick finish but an unfortunate sour aftertaste. Not very good. "IPA" - pfahh!

500ml Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured clear dark copper color with an average white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate tart citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium bittersweet hoppy flavor with a smooth bitter finish of average duration. Solid drinkable flavorful brew.
