Full body - staying head - amber color with a spicy, malty palate that finishes very fruity with complex hoppy undertones. Extremely pleasant to drink during lenghty conversations. Brewed along a 700 year tradition!
Goes very well with spicy food. Hot spicy food such as Cajun, Mexican, Oriental and Thai, is pleasantly cooled down by this wonderful beer. The hops also help the digestion. Delicious with cheeses.
You can age the Augustijn for many years, just like wine.
