Beer 34 - New Belgium Abbey Ale

August 21, 2010 - Beer 34
New Belgium Brewing Abbey Belgian Style Ale
Brewed in Fort Collins, CO, USA bought at H E B Grocery, Houston, TX, drunk at home in Katy, TX listening to the Nascar race from Bristol on PRN radio on the Internet since the local ABC statio has preempted the national broadcast to show a Texans football game. Boo hiss.
This is New Belgum week. The bottle says "A beauty of a Begium dubbel with six different malts and an authentic Belgian Yeast strain that's happiest being served in a New Belgium globe glass"
I don't (yet) have a globe glass, so i used a regular glass! The beer is light brown in color and has a slightly sweet taste. There is a nose of ripe bananas, strange but very pleasant, it has a fairly light body and goes very well with cheese and biscuits.
