Golden color. Tastes fruity and earthy. Very drinkable. One of my favorites. Like most of Lost Abbey's beers, this does not disappoint.

Fruit and grassy hops in the aroma. Flavor is sweet with fruit, spice. Aftertaste has spice but some unpleasant metallic flavor. Overall this is OK but not great.

2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
I had heard many good things about this beer... but I was somewhat disappointed by this. There was absolutely nothing bad about it, and I could tell that all the ingredients were of the highest quality, but the taste was simply too mild to keep my interest. The aftertaste and very nicely sparkling palate grew after several sips, but the flavour never developed for me. It had a very nice flavour, but I could not even discern the strongest of the flavours of this beer until I had drank nearly half of a 750ml bottle... The flavour is complex and wild, I wanted to like it (based on how much I love Orval and Dupont,) but it was simply too mild to impress me.

Pain grillé, houblons épicés et floraux, esters de levure bien incorporés. La buvabilité est évidente. Pas mon genre de bière en général mais celle-là va se terminer facilement.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
750 mL bottle from Sun Devil Liquors in Phoenix AZ, served in a tulip. Pours hazy caramel with a moderate tan head that remains and laces well.
The nose is grainy, with lots of caramel, herbs, earth and a touch of piney hops. The flavour is quite sweet throughout with lots of caramel and a touch of honey. Delicate piney hops provide balance without overpowering. Earthy and barnyardy notes enhance the complexity. The finish is long, sweet, malty and barnyardy. On the palate, it is medium-full in body with a smooth, creamy texture and average carbonation. Overall, this is a great bière de garde. Sweet, subtle and sophisticated, it is a very nice ale for sitting out on the patio with friends. Kudos to the brewers at Lost Abbey! 2012-03-11
