Description
Averbode Abbey beer is a tribute to history: from the 14th to the early 20th century the abbey was already actively engaged in brewing. For the production of the ‘new’ abbey beer the abbey opted for Brouwerij Huyghe, which also has a rich history of its own.
However, there are also similarities. Respect for the environment and society play a central role in the brewery. Indeed, Brouwerij Huyghe is the only brewery in Belgium to produce the Mongoza-beer that has received the fair trade, gluten free and organic label. It also actively invests in a smaller footprint and social employment.

330ml bottle. Clear, pale golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Minimally soapy, floral hoppy and mellow malty aroma, a touch of rose hip. Taste is sweet-ish, biscuity and bready malty, floral-fruity overtones with hints of rose hip and a touch of bergamot, some honey, a warming touch of alcohol.

Enjoyed this at Craft Beer Market on Friday. Golden colour with a beautiful creamy off-white head, very long lasting and very nice milkshake-like lace. Pilsner scent at first, with the Belgian Ale yeast coming out right after. Nice grains blends the rest. The taste has some richness to it, but the dry, mild bitter finish helps a bunch. A nice balance between the light pils-like grains and hops. Smooth spices lingers. Quite a refreshing Belgian strong ale with the touch of a pilsner.

On tap. Golden colour, big frothy head that stays long, pretty lacing. Aroma is empty, with alcohol and malt. Light bitterness. Boring as hell!

Unrund wie manche Kollegen denken, ist es auf jeden Fall. Im Antrunk wirkt es wie ein Witbier, dessen Gewürz-Aromen nicht so recht durchkommen wollen. Als Strong Ale merkt man es nur aufgrund des Alkohols. Hier wären zwar gute Ansätze, die aber Ansätze bleiben. Kein schlechtes Bier per se, aber als belgisches Strong Ale enttäuschend.

330ml bottle. Pours a hazy pale gold with a large, frothy, long lasting, white head that leaves plenty of lace. Fruity aroma of grainy pale malt, lemon rind, peach, banana and Belgian yeast. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, white wine, lemon rind, banana, peach, Belgian yeast, alcohol, spice and floral hops with a crisp, dry, bitter grass finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Decent.
