Dec 20, 2008 8.5% on the label, not 7% as noted here. dry and sharp, alcoholic bite is present with some spicy fruitiness reminiscent of overripe or nearly rotten apples but not altogether unpleasant. effervescent and very dry, a bit one dimensional though.

Dec 15, 2008 Pours a murky orange brown color with some good white head that leaves behind soe decent lace. The aroma is strong with a herbal European hops with a bit of toasted malt and musty yeast. Lots of herbal and grassy hop flavor. Wow. Very very bitter. Medium body with plenty of carbonation. Bitter dry finish. Hell, this a damn fine beer. This common Lost Abbey is more enjoyable for me than many of the rare beers.

Dec 1, 2008 Pours a cloudy gold with a white head. Aroma of fruit, spice, yeast. Taste is also spice and fruit with some earthy hops and malt. Great Thanksgiving beer. Finish is dry. Body is pretty carbonated. Nice beer.

Nov 29, 2008 Unlike most Biere de Gardes I know, this is sweet and malty. More like La Choulette, but with smoother tastes. Bit of bitterness. Spiced a bit. Some caramel. Still, nice all around.

Nov 19, 2008 lear yellow-orange pour with a thin white head. Fruity pear aroma with floral and earthy notes. A touch of butter and cream. Bitter malt and roast flavor. Fruity with hints of bourbon. Hoppy finish. I was disappointed by this one.

Nov 18, 2008 Tasting @ Binnys. Bottle. A smooth medium to dark golden color with an off-white head. A light spice and white fruit aroma. Flavor is of wheat, and modest spicing, ginger and coriander. Palate is thin and dry. Not my cup o tea.

Nov 1, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy caramel/light orange pour with white head. Big notes of sweet apple bread and caramel... reminds me of a caramel apple at times. Toffee notes. Some phenol character... a little buttery at times. Good biere de garde.
