Bottle from Ledgers, Berkeley; Nose is grainy with a little spice, flowers, and fruit; lightly hazed litle copper color with a medium, quick disappating white head; Flavor has light fruitiness with caramel light spices, and some nutiness; This has all the complexity of a really big quad, but all the factors are very light and not overwhelming!

4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
The aroma!! Incredible. Cloudy on the pour with a very large, whitish head. Smooth throughout with a slightly spicy/seasoned finish. The overall flavor is mildly flowery, fruity, and carmelly; emphasis in mildly.
The blends of flavors are superb. Such a find is rare. Unfortunately, Lost Abbey bottles are not available in the Minneapolis metro area. Fortunately, a friend supplied me with this wonderful experience.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy and yellow. It has a huge head with nice retention. The aromas of this beer are outstanding, there is a bit of floweriness, bread, nutmeg and other spices. The flavors are also very complex, a bitterness offset by a tartness, fruit, hops and malts. Best Biere de Gard I have tasted so far.
