Not quite, some of them are hopped. The ones named "unhopped" are unsurprisingly, sans hops 8)
Dan!

1/5 oz per gallon so a whole 1 oz on a 5 gallon batch! ;)

Back when I was 16 / 17, Greene King Abbot Ale was still made to a good recipe and it was the best falling over water a young chap could buy!

Not only is it now crap, the pub I used to drink it at in Colchester is now a FatFace clothes shop! :cry:

It's hard to take GK IPA off a pump in a pub round here though - the people that drink it have been drinking it for forty years and can no longer bear to drink anything tasty.

It's undeniably popular (with those scared of flavour or don't like variety in their life). One good thing I will say about it is that so many old-timers drink it that at least it's usually fresh....bland but fresh.

There's a country pub near to me which does an amazing pint of Abbot, served under gravity from a cask behind the bar. It's £3.20 / pint however :roll:

But when I visit the parents then a pub near to them also serves great Abbot (£2.40/pint there so much better :lol: )

IMO it's certainly not "crap" when you get a good pint, quite the opposite.

Agreed - One of my favourites, his worshipness. Lunchtime had a £1.19 a pint ( wetherspoons where else ) of the Abbott Reserve 6% and a Schnecklifter - Abbott was truly superb. :D

CAMRA thought highly enough of GK IPA to award it an overall Silver in 2004s Champion Beer of Britain award :shock:
