grimreeser (795), Minnesota, USA Mar 31, 2008 Pours amber with good sized head. Aroma of caramel and bread. Flavor is sweet, slightly bland. trevor211 (500), Seattle, Washington, USA Mar 28, 2008 Like a good, complex smooth IPA that felt like celebrating an occasion (there’s a lot of carbonation up front, reminiscent of a good bottle of bubbly). It has the feel of something from Unibroue, but with a more complex character. Aroma is bready, light but hinting of something more complex. Gives notes of the wort you smell walking by a microbrewery on a crisp morning. Tastes of the rind of orange fruits - tangerines or satsumas, definitely showing hops, but not at all overpowering. It manages to be both bright and complex - would pair perfectly with appetizers (fruit, bread, oil and balsamic, etc.). I was skeptical when I bought it, but this was certainly worth the $10. SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Mar 26, 2008 750 ml bottle - pours gold with foamy white head; medium body and creamy finish; aromas of bread, light fruit, caramel and a mild funkiness; drinks crisp with flavors of citrus and banana; a little spice and mellow overall chicagodri (1020), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 24, 2008 Pours amber with very little head. Aroma and flavor has some nice spices, a little yeasty and some fruit in there. Not one of my favorite beers from Lost Abbey but still solid. mgermani (862), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Mar 24, 2008 Pours a light amber with a very thin head with lots of loose bubbles. Aroma is of gooseberries, rubbing alcohol, figs, very dry and spicy/herbal. Taste is a bit too up-front - bold, bitter, and dry. Bit of alco-burn in the finish, dry and lightly tart even. Thin body, decent carbonation. I found this to be very lopsided - no sweetness to balance, no malt character or complexity. asedzie (453), San Francisco, California, USA Mar 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with dense, bubbly off-white head, some lace. Nose is doughy, with herbal aromatic hops, melon, pear. Flavor has light fruity sweetness, mild bitterness, light mediciney-musty yeast. Finish has moderate lingering hop bitterness with herbal and orange peel character. Full palate. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA Mar 14, 2008 Clear golden body with a small white head. High hop flavor with some light caramel. Sweet floral hop flavor with some caramel. Medium body with medium carbonation. dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA Mar 12, 2008 pours copper, no head, no dicernible lacing (but by the time i got to this sample, it was getting pretty dark outside). aromy if musty with fruity and other sweet notes. citrus, spice and yeast in the flavor. a bit bubbly in the mouth. not bad.
