Commercial Description:
Saku Abbey toob tänapäeva õllenautijani iidsed /abbey/-tüüpi õlle traditsioonid keskaegsest Belgiast. Sealsetes mungakloostrites on juba sajandeid hoitud unikaalseid õllepruulimise saladusi, mis nüüd esmakordselt jõudnud ka Eestisse. Tänu Saku õllemeistrite virtuoossele pruulimiskunstile ja rafineeritud maitsele on loodud Eesti õllede innovatsioon – Saku Abbey. Pikaajalise ja põhjaliku töö tulemusena on Saku õlleloojad sellesse peitnud tõeliste trapistide ordu pruulikodade parimad maitsevarjundid. Abbey õlut pruulitakse trapistide mungakloostrite juures tegutsenud pruulikodade pinnakäärituse meetodil. Trappist-õlle nimetuse kasutamise õigused on antud siiski ainult 7 kloostrile Belgias ja Hollandis, et tagada õllede ehtsus ning munkade otsene osalus pruulimisprotsessis. Üks põhjusi, miks kloostrites õlut pruulima hakati, oli joogivee küsitavas puhtuses. Vee puhtust sai aga garanteerida vaid vee läbikeetmisega. Kuna õlu kogus Euroopas kosutava joogina populaarsust juba keskajalgi, muutus õlle müük ka kloostrite üheks elatusallikaks. Saku Abbey pakub üllatava naudingu igale õlleasjatundjale, kelle hing otsib uusi maitseelamusi. Eheda ja eksklusiivse abbey-tüüpi õllega võib tervitada ka väärt külalisi meeldivalt hubastel koosviibimistel olenemata aastaajast. Saku Abbey’t sobib serveerida nii aperitiivina kui ka magustoitude juurde, samuti on ta ideaalne kaaslane hõrkude peoroogade – jänes, faasan – kõrval. Õhulise vahu ja rikkaliku aroomibuketiga Saku Abbey on erakordne ühendus värskendavalt puuviljalisest maitsenüansist, peenest lillenoodist ning mahlakast ja humalasest järelmaitsest. Saku Abbey valmistamiseks kasutatakse spetsiaalselt valitud saksa humalaid, millest üht on eriliselt töödeldud aroomi intensiivistamiseks kibedust oluliselt tõstmata. Õlle kaunis kõrbepunane värv annab kõigile märku õllenautija heast maitsest.

Rød øl med næsten ingen skum. Duften er parfumeret og meget hyldebær agtig. Smagen er en ale brygget på belgisk gær, og med en del humle. Smagnuancer af hyldebær. Tilpas humlet. Let øl, som ikke er så tung som f.eks. klosterøl fra Brøckhouse

Bottled. Aroma of perfume, toffee and soap. Very cloying and artificial. Tastes of urinal cakes.

Bottle from Tbone_. Abbey ale? Are you kidding? A vague attempt to brew something in a Belgian style. Light amber color. Cinnamon and raspberry in the grainy aroma. Sweet flavor, grainy and perfumed, with raspberry-flavored bubblegum and cinnamon. Interesting but not good.

Bottled. Clear amber, perfumy lemon tea aroma. Very sweet, as an Earl Grey tea with too much sugar. Medium bodied with an intense, very driect flavour, but no depth. It’s really interesting, but quite out of balance. I’m really pleased to see them try, and I actually find myself enjoying this beer.

Not a bad beer which is supposedly meant to be a Belgian Trappist styled beer but for me it lacks the body and the strength to even be in the same ball park. The aroma is quite inviting and actually smells strongly of tea mixed with lemon. It certainly does not taste its strength and is easy to drink. I think this beer has potential and I am delighted that Saku have brought out such a beer as with the exception of the Tume and the Porter, most of their beers are incredibly bland. I hope they perservere with this beer and continue to work on the recipe as with a bit of TLC, it could become much better.

Bottle. Clear, deep amber with a thick and rich head. Looks good, however, aroma is overly citrus-dominated. A little artificial. Not all bad though.
