701. Golden Ring Abbey Ale

I had this with lunch at the Cambridge Brewing Company on Friday. These are the notes that I jotted down when I got back to lab.

Beer Stats:
Brewery: Cambridge Brewing Company
Alcohol: 6.40%
Serving: Tap
Style: Belgian Pale Ale, BJCP Style Guide

Pours a lightly hazed golden with a hint of amber. It's topped by a half-inch white head that fades to a ring. The nose is Belgian yeasty fruitiness, caramel, yeast, grain and a hint of hops. The taste is sweet and fruity upfront followed by a long, lingering, peppery spice. There's a light hop bitterness in the finish to tie things together. Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation. Very tasty.
