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.

Bottled (BB 10/2007)
Clear amber color, small off-white head, nice lacing. Nose has toffee, dish cleanser and malts. Caramelly, industrial flavor, some lemon candy too. I suppose that this is really brewed with lager yeast. Way too thin for being "real abbey dubbel".

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized off-shite head, lacing. Aroma is caramel malts and slight spicyness with some fruity hops also kicking in. Flavour is raisins, caramel malts and some fruity hops. Feels very dark lagerish while drinking, but a lot of Belgian imitations is there.

0.5l bottle. Thick cream coloured head. Nice aroma. Sweetish, citrus like. Very pleasant. Little bit apricot. Reddish color. Palate is smooth, little carbonate. Flavor is colourful. Little bit sour, malts, fruits. Lively. This is actually decent ale. Might be the best estonian beer I have tasted so far.

Bottle. High fluffy but lasting off-white head. Clear cobber body looking to have a good deal of carbonation. Sweet roasted barley malt aroma with notes of plums and raisins. Sweet aand sugary at first llater a bit of spicyness is there without much bitterness. Not espcially carbonation and the aftertaste stays long.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Dark yellow colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Nice complex moderate bitter flavor. Average finish. Oily palate. Actually a nice beer from estonia. One of the best besides the porters.

Bottle, from Billund Vine. A deep red amber with a small creamy off-white head. Aroma has a tea quality to it, with a fruity and herbal feel. Very sweet flavour, quite dry and very spicy and herbal. There is more spicyness than actual fullness to it. A long coriander aftertaste. As Maria says, it’s not an Abbey!
