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.

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, 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!

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Sweetish, lightly perfumy nose. Medium body with sweetish, fruity accents. Almost no bitterness. Rather nice but not very Belgian in style. 120108

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. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of spices, caramel, and citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of nutmeg, caramel, citrus, and other spices.

(Bottled) Clear, deep copper color with a smallish, mostly fading head. Witbier-spicy (coriander, lemon), soapy aroma with some bready maltiness. Quite original, sweetish, honey-flowery, toffee-malty flavor with some lime-lemony acidity and witbier spiciness. Medium-bodied, slicky palate with medium, smooth carbonation. A very strange brew - like Belgian amber ale mixed with witbier, and some lime thrown in. I’m not quite sure, who they are aiming this at... Well, at least it’s not cloying - but not an abbey beer, either.
