Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the NorCal
Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Sierra Nevada Brewing Company
Ovila Abbey Dubbel. I had heard good
things about this beer so I thought I’d pick up a four pack strictly for review
purposes (HA!).
From the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company website:” Ovila Abbey Dubbel is
brewed in the abbey tradition, and perfect for the rebirth of spring. Clean and
deep copper in color, this Abbey Dubbel has a complex and rich malty sweetness
with hints of carmelized sugar. The aroma is a heady and layered mix of fruit
and spice with hints of clove, raisin and black pepper from the use of an
abbey-style yeast.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours a deep caramel color with cream colored
head and slight lacing.
Aroma: Caramel malt, sweet fruit (fig and raisin), Belgian
yeast and spice.
Taste: Rich caramel and roasted malt flavor, slightly sweet
with dark fruits, spice and clove. This
beer is delicious!
Overall: Sierra Nevada Brewing Company’s Ovila Abbey Dubbel
is a very smooth and tasty Dubbel and one that I would seek out again. At 7.5% ABV it is easy to have at least a
couple (or maybe a few) of these. Check it out!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
