Hopworks Launches Seasonal Belgian Style Series with Organic Abbey Ale
Hopworks Urbans Brewery to release new Belgian-style Abbey Ale
Debuting on draught at Portland’s Cheers to Belgian Beers on April 21, 2012 this new series of bottle conditioned beers features classic European styles through our own Northwest perspective. The first in this series is an Abbey Ale. The second in the series is a Belgian Pale Ale, launching in July.
Hopworks Organic Belgian-Style Abbey Ale
Made with this year’s PCTBB yeast, Abbey is made with five different organic malts and organic dark brown sugar, resulting in a complex multi-layered aroma. The flavor is equally rich with a caramel malty sweet, fruity flavor finished with effervescent carbonation and a smooth, warming alcohol finish.
ABV: 6.5% IBU: 18 Plato: 20
Bottles available May through June 2012.
