Feb 8, 2009 A- Pours a very clear pale straw/golden hue with a huge white, creamy head, some thin lacing, and a whirlwind of whooshing bubbles
S- Nose is dominated by west coast hops (citrus, pine), some belgian malts, and subtle spice and earthiness, bananas
T- Very smooth taste that is characterized by both yeasty, bready malts and a surprising balance with floral and citrus hops, the finish is mostly bittering hops that sticks around for a while
M- Light-medium bodied, adequate carbonation, thin to watery texture
D- Light and smooth belgian ale that is surprisingly hoppy for the style

Feb 6, 2009 Poured from a caged and corked 750ml bottle and served in a tulip. Poured a mostly clear golden orange with a thick beige head. Decent retention and some attractive lacing. The aroma included fresh grass, lemon zest, lightly toasted grains, sourdough bread, and a touch of pear and honey. The flavor was made up of graham cracker, white pepper, and lemongrass. Finished mostly dry, but there was a light lingering note of honeydew sweetness. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had light, tingly carbonation. Could have used a touch more perhaps, but it didn’t really detract from the beer itself. Definately not my favorite Lost Abbey beer, but still pretty decent.

Feb 3, 2009 Tasted back to back with the Saints ’08 brett version. This one pours a lightly hazy, glowing orange-amber color with a small, foamy, off-white head. The froth settles to a wispy film with a bubbly edge, tiny spots and thin, jagged lines of lace falling behind on the glass. Aromas include a lightly sweet, grainy malt base with hints of honey, followed by dry lemongrass hops and estery Belgian yeast. Flavors are quite pleasing, the light, fresh, grainy malts balanced well by grassy, peppery hops. Traces of candied lemon and orange rind add tasty spice, as do hints of edible flowers. Medium bodied, dry, and peppery on the tongue, this brew is easy drinking but perhaps a tad bit overly carbonated. Nice stuff....but the brett version really rocks.

Feb 2, 2009 750 ml bottle from Binnys (Orland Park, Il). My first lost abbey rating with a backlog from the haul that is now offered in the chicagoland. Pours a amberish hazy pour with small white head. Aromas are lightly estery, apples and banana, with belgian yeast, spiciness, and subtle sweetness. Initial is light, hoppy bitterness mixes with soft belgian yeast and sweetness, fruity apple and light banana, a touch of spice. Highly sessionable and delicate. Clean and crisp, but flavorful. A wonderful light happy fruity beer for the category.
