The Brü Revü – New Belgium Abbey

I have always enjoyed the New Belgium beers and the Abbey (along with the Trippel) is my favorite of their regular line-up.  It pours a deep transparent amber with a decent creamy head and a generous amount of carbonation.  The aroma hits you instantly with the sweet Belgian yeast that follows through to the taste.  There are also hints of banana, caramel, and fruity malt in the smooth full bodied mouthfeel.  There is definitely a lot going on in this complex and well balanced beer especially for a regular offering from a brewer.  If you haven't tried New Belgium this is a great place to start and a beer I highly recommend.
