New Belgium Abbey Ale (dubbel)

Here's another oldy and moldy. I could go further in depth today, but, you know what? It does the trick. Notes from February, 2003:

Slight head and a purely peachy color. 

Aroma is magical, delightful, a veritable fruit salad in the nose...tropical fruits, mango, banana. 

Great hop presence, and a delicious spark on the tongue. Light in texture and body, but full of flavor. 

Medium carbonation, and, again, a beautiful little ballet by hops on the palate. 
An excellent dubbel, one of the best stateside versions I've ever encountered, if not the best!
