Mar 13, 2009 750ml bottle in Duvel glass. Clear pale copper orange with flat head and lace. sweet vanilla orangy spicy aroma. Mild honey orange fruity sweetness with medium bitter spicy dry finish. Medium-light body. Not much to this, it seems. Tastes a little like Duvel Green, which is to say that it is not especially flavorful. Good for the style, I guess, which is characteristically mild.

Mar 11, 2009 Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
On the bus to ZBF. Pours lightly hazy yellow with a nice, small, creamy, white head. Fine lacing. Aroma is malty, some yeast, a touch of alcohol, hay, grass, caramel, toffee. Medium carbonation, fair, lightly dry mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet, chewy malts, some orange-like tartness and a super hoppy balance. Very dry finish with a long lingering bitter touch.

Mar 10, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy golden. Moderately dense head which quickly settles. Smells of pear, peach and naturally yeast. Chewy mouth feel which is thick on the finish. Taste peppery, slightly sour some grapefruit, with mild bitter finish.

Mar 8, 2009 22oz bottle: poured golden yellow with about a one finger off white head. Fruity/hoppy aroma- very fragrant. Grassy and some citrus notes. The taste is quite nice with a peppery presence of hops and citrus, maybe a bit of pine notes. Mild bitter finish. Really a nice tasting, full bodied golden ale. Very nice.

Mar 7, 2009 Clear orange/gold color. Nice light fruit, sweet malt, candy sugar, grass, citrus, and some funkiness. Nice flavor profile, and easy to drink. Another good one from lost abbey.

Feb 28, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours a clear golden color with medium sized off white head. The aroma was fresh fruity orange citrus, grassy with mild sweetness. The flavor had a mild Belgian character and fruity up front with the finish being drier and more bitter. Lighter and smooth, this is decent but not the best by this brewery.

Feb 24, 2009 Special thanks to Beerlando for providing this and Saints Devotion side by side for comparison. The aroma was sweet with vanilla, white wine and grapefruit. Flavor is very bitter, with even more bitterness coming in the finish.

Transparent gold, fluffy white head. Sweey cookie nose, some grape and minor citrus and spice to go along with the yeast. Flavor is similarly fruit and sweet, yet there’s a ting of sharp, biting bitterness running through, caustic and unpleasant. Moderate palate. Can’t say it’s easy to drink, laid back, or harmonious, given that bitter note, and I think that’s a big draw back for a Belgian Ale.
