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.

One of a handful of beers I purchased at Amathus Soho in London a month or so back, I’ve looked forward to this one, a Belgian. A snifter in hand from an Austin brewer, I’m ready to go. A pale gold-yellow body topped by a creamy head of nearly white foam. I appreciate the scent, ripe yellow fruit, straw and sweetness something from the field. I take a drink, this is pleasant with nectarines, apricots, crackers and yeast. Light in the mouth, easy to enjoy.

Pours a clear copperbrown. Small off-white head. Scent is mild caramel. Smooth, sweet, distant chocolate. Taste is medium bitter, tad roasty, chocolate, caramel. mild BE yeast. The most style typical, average, and boring of the 3 house-brewed beers,and though it is the one I was interested in the least (personal taste) - this is the one that resembles it's goal the best.

Pours a slightly hazed bonde. Medium sized white head. Scent is fairly mild, banana yeast medium expressive. Taste is full, smooth isoamylacetate. Milder maltyness. Very simple, to the sweet side. Dry hop is a bit of a joke here, especially for a beer named after the process. A slightly below average triple, without any flaws (if you don't expect dry hop character to be expressive) .

Pours a clear blonde. Medium sized white head. Scent is medium full, pure grains, elegant hips. Fresh. Nice. Taste is light, easy drinker. Smooth, lager--like feel. Not sure of this actually being a full bodied lager, or a very clean ale ? Not as refined and smooth as a good lager might be, so I 'hope' it's an Ale, in which case they did a great job replacing the needed lager for the regular folks who just pass by. Medium high bitterness. Very decent, actually !

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Beautiful Beers. Pours clear gold with a big, billowing, frothy white head. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of sourdough, biscuits, Belgian yeast, light grass, straw, lemon rind. Light bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Balanced finish, more crispy biscuits, hay, yeast, citrus accents, honeysuckle. Really tasty and drinkable.
