Abbey is brewed in the style of a Belgian "Double" ale. It is brown in color, with a full body and a distinctive fruity aroma. Abbey is fermented with an authentic Belgian yeast strain, and is refermented in the bottle to produce natural carbonation. A small amount of live yeast remains in the bottle giving the beer a freshness and fullness of character. The beer should be served cool (not cold) to best experience the rich aroma and complex flavors.
