Sister Abby: An Unbiased Review

There's no conflict of interest here at all.

Yes, yes, I know I work for Double Shift so I could potentially come off a little biased, but come on people! Don’t you know me yet? I can 100% promise that this review will be unbiased, just like every single other review … except New Belgium, because I’m a hardcore #fangirl.

Now, let’s get back on the Abby train, shall we? Sister Abby is an American Dubbel. Why does Double Shift call it that? Excellent question, friend. According to our brewer, and I quote, “It’s a nod to Belgian brewing practices. True Belgian Abbey beers are very process-oriented and this beer is a very American Craft approach. It’s just me not taking credit for a style that, at its core, isn’t exact to style and giving credit where credit is due.”

Sister Abby is the perfect balance of malt and sweetness, with the slightest banana after-taste. I will say the sweetness hits you in the nose and the back of the mouth but then finishes so smoothly.

It’s easy to put this beer away, but at 7.9% you have to be careful – I’ve definitely had to Uber my butt away from the brewery after having a couple of these. Since this beer is coming straight from the source/I’m drinking it from the source, it’s the freshest quality beer I’ve written about.

A popular beer with staff and consumers alike – if you haven’t tried it, do yourself a favor and get down to Double Shift’s Tasting Room. You won’t regret it.

The awesome people from this blog pretty much adopted me... mostly because I wouldn't leave them alone. I absolutely couldn't image my life without being a part of the craft beer scene; I worked for the government (you can imagine how that went) and wasn't happy at all. I started writing for this website and meeting people in the beer community. Then I quit my well paying and stable job! Now I work with people I enjoy in a job that is fun and opens people's eyes to new things! I wouldn't have gotten here without KC Beer Scouts. They have opened my eyes to weird beers and unique people. Guys, let me tell you, whether you're new to the craft beer scene or an experienced brewer: getting in to craft beer has been one of the most fun and fulfilling things I've ever done. My goal for my reviews is to get people inspired to try new beers they'd never think to try and to get people interested in the craft beer community! Keep this in mind: Everyone is different and unique in their own way; Embrace that.
