Abbey beers

As the designation " bière d'Abbaye" ( abbey beer) has always been synonymous with quality and tradition, many breweries have used it. In fact these beers are not brewed by monks. Some even carry the names of abbey which have never existed. The term abbey may indicate that the beer is brewed in the way used by monks, that there is an abbey nearby or, simply, that there is a monk on the label. These beers have no specific characteristics. In the last few years, a new category of Abbey beers has appeared. These are beers produced by a private brewery, installed within the confines of a abbey deserted by the original occupants in the past ( Abbaye des Rocs, Val Dieu, Abbaye d'Aulne...)

Achel Blond 8° - 33cl
In Stock
Achel Blonde is one of the few Trappist beers in the world and is brewed in the monastery of Notre-Dame of Saint-Benoît in Belgium. In order to get the name “trappist”, the beer must be brewed within an abbey under the supervision of the monastic community with a Cistercian tradition. These days it is difficult to meet all of these demands. 
Compared to other trappist beers, the taste of the blonde Achel is more simple and has less temperament but is still fully appreciated.
In the mouth, the first taste is pleasant with a sweet hint of bitterness. The aroma perception in the mouth is long and solid and the aftertaste is not too dry. The whole taste is dominated by the malty sweetness.
