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.

Raising a glass for my grandad Norbert. Bottle from Against the Grain. Pours clear golden with a thick white head. Aromas of spicy yeast esters, light banana, light dough. Taste is dry and spritzy, some grains. Spicy linger. Decent.

Pours clear, yellowblonde. Rather big, fast imploding white head. Scent is straight up BE yeast (banana, 4VG) over a medium malty base. Taste is fairly sharp, bit more to the bitter side than the average for the style. Still, very yeast-driven, but not as sticky, exhausting and also slightly less sweet than the average BE blonde. Medium high to high carbo over a fairly thin body (bit oily due to the esthers) Nothing spectacular, but nothing 'off' either.

Bottle from Raynville Superstore. It pours clear golden - blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, perfumed, pear, apple, melon, some booze, twist of orangey citrus and floral accents The taste is crispy, dry, clean, snappy, kick of alcohol, twist of citrus, some estery fruits, pear, melon, apple and a touch of icing sugar with a bone dry finish. Medium body and moderate+ fluffy carbonation. A touch brash perhaps and not a huge amount of depth, but it drinks pretty well.

(Keg at Delirium Cafe Rennes, 20240611) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had honey, fruitiness and Belgian style yeast. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, Belgian style yeast, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, yeasty and bitter. A nice brew with yeasty notes.

Huge, dense, whipped eggwhite-like head, stable, over quite lively carbonated golden beer. Green leaves, yeast, bit toasted, aromatic herbs, slightly grassy. Toasted, partly heated but not roasted grains, other grains, very light sweetness. I might have guessed some coriander for a moment, but apparently not. Pharmaceutical, dried herbs, not fresh. Something as heated plastic. Not very creamy - head excepted - despite the oats, but the rather fizzy carbonation is counterworking. Light body. For a moment, I thought Huyghe had outdone themselves. Not so, in the end, let's safely keep on the bland side.

On tap at Bier Paleis Brugge. Tasty Belgian blond. Tasty enough strong beer. Not much hop or bitterness but the malts are sweetish and pleasant. Fine.
