TASTING NOTES
The Little Brewing Company’s Mad Abbot range of ales are produced in the style of the Trappist monasteries of Belgium. These ales are bottle conditioned resulting in yeast sediment in the bottle, and undergo careful cellaring before release. They are made with finesse in true Belgian style with alcohol content well hidden beneath the complex flavour. The Mad Abbot Tripel is a fruity, pale, very strong ale.
BREWERY SNAPSHOT
Situated in Port Macquarie, it has been quite a ride for The Little Brewing Company since they started out in 2007. These guys won a gold medal at their first professional beer competition and now have more than 100 medals from national and international competitions. They never compromise on ingredients and use plenty in each batch which is surely the key to their success. Hey, it’s good to be fussy!
