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.

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.

Bottled. Cloudy honey ale. The head is nicely frothy and stable. The aroma moves fruity components to the front. Spice yeastiness stays back. Medium body. Soft carbonation. Medium sweet taste. Apples & pears. Delicate yeast. Light plus bitterness. Good at least.
