Hailed by the late beer writer Michael Jackson as ‘one of the great characters of the beer world’, Abbot Ale is brewed for quality of the highest order. Abbot is an irresistible ale with masses of fruit characters, a malty richness and superb hop balance. It is brewed longer to a unique recipe, which makes it the full-flavoured, smooth and mature beer it is today.

Cask at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours fairly opaque, light brown, with mixed grain foam, fine to gross. Aroma is malty, earthy, some caramel and honey too. Body is slightly thin, with practically no carbonation. Taste is moderate sweet, with some feeling of crumbled biscuit.
