First sip brings a toasted grain malt upfront with a nice hit of caramel. Fruity spiciness is evident and I pick up a grape skin and green apple flavor. Flows down with a bready, yeasty aspect and some earthy tones as well. Just a slight sour twang to it. Finishes with a touch of hops. A bit dry and grainy.
Mouthfeel is on the lighter side while still having a nice creaminess to it. Ample carbonation, the beer goes down easily and is refreshing.

Jul 20, 2007 750 ml. brown Belgian style bottle. Corked & caged. Muffled pop when cork removed. Not as carbonated as Red Barn Ale. Poured out a hazy orange color, with a sticky tan colored head. Aromas are of sweet apples, peaches, strong honey smells as well.
Flavors are of fresh fruits, honey, slightly herbal, but well balanced throughout. Damn good beer overall.

May 2, 2007 This offering from Lost Abbey pours a foggy orange with tiny carbonation bubble leaving a strong brown eggshell head on top of this beauty. The aroma is yeasty, fruity, dough, hay and grass. The taste starts sharp tart and lovely with enough sweetness to balance that bitter tartness upfront. The alcohal is warming and in control in this one. Followed by a bitter herbal hoppy and grass notes, hay, lemon grass, orange, citrus rind tarness, refreshing high carbonation make this finish fantastic and one helluva beer.

Dec 1, 2006 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.

Dec 30, 2008 Bomber at Jerry’s. Pale, clear orange with good, foamy off-white head / Slightly sour, citrus and bread nose / Medium body, moderately sweet but bitter, with long, dry finish / Musty flavors of pear, candied orange, honey, dry hop, and brett / A very fine, near sour ale.

does not count  Jan 20, 2008 Liquid Gold, it lived up to it’s reputation and was worth the price. The golden color was mesmerizing and then I tasted it.
Perkeo (318), Portland, Oregon, USA
Oct 28, 2007 750 ml. bottle. Solidly and deeply golden, with a light but coarse foam collar. Nose of distilled grape beverages and walnut, plus a little windex. Superb palate, somewhat creamy, honeyed undertones float a very tasty and cutting melange of garden spice and quenching hoppy acidity. Improves as it warms and breathes. Probably my fave of the 3 Lost Abbey/Port beers I’ve tried in the last couple of days...
