deftim13 (103), California, USA Mar 10, 2008 Bottle.
Poured nice golden/amber yellow. huge lively head from a hard pour. Smell of cloves, spice, coriander, wheat, nutmeg and peppar. Taste is pretty much the same. Nice mouth feel with a pretty good carbonation. Great Biere de Garde from Tomme.

(Rating #1486) beerbuzzmontreal (2909), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Feb 22, 2008 The pour reveals a clear dark gold color with a thin, bubbly, white head. The aroma has a good dose of funky barnyard with a spicy, fruity, malty presence. The flavor is pleasantly funky with spices, malt and mild tart fruits. The body is full with an oily texture and soft carbonation. This is a pretty solid bière de garde. GriffinAvenue (395), Winchester, Massachusetts, USA Feb 16, 2008 bottle. golden-brown color. 1/4" head. Musty, earthy, faint lemon-grass hint. Average to thin body. somewhat tart but not extensively so. OK. rustychiles (1007), Mesa, Arizona, USA Feb 15, 2008 Pours a darker cloudy yellow. Aroma of spices and a little funk. Very interesting flavor profile that is hard to describe. It’s lke spices and a funk......but in a good way. Would compliment some cheeses rather well. Nice brew, but not something I’d want to drink every day. posikyle (165), Alabama, USA Feb 14, 2008 Pours beautiful color. Great fuity aroma, nicely formed head. Taste is fruity at first, with a nice hoppy bitter finish to even it all out. Was a little maltier than I expected. RblWthACoz (963), Brooklyn, New York, USA Feb 2, 2008 Pours a slightly fogged gold amber. Nose is like woody apples. Strong sweet tone is there too. Flavor is a tangy wood. Almost like this was aged in some type of wooden barrel. Feel is thick on carbonation and typical on liquid. Overall this is not really a favorite style of mine. Quite the opposite really. I can say without hesitation that it is one of my least. This one is pretty well made though and is even and consistent. If you can dig the style, give it a shot. For me though, I can’t say I will try it again, but that is only because of my personal tastes. jpman105 (4), USA does not count Jan 26, 2008 Not one of Lost Abbey’s best beers. Moderate hoppy taste mixed with flavors of grapefruit. Nice lacing and lively taste.
