Lost Abbey Devotion

7/28/2007 and 9/04/2008: Lost Abbey Devotion has grassy citrus, perfumy, spicy, and floral hops in the fruity, slightly spicy aroma. The flavor has orange and grapefruit with a dry finish and pleasing floral bitterness. The bitterness level is mild to moderate. This beer has a copper color with a substantial foamy beige head that creates good lacing. The mouthfeel is soft and smooth. Overall this beer is very much like a Pale Ale or IPA and quite good.

Golden pour with a big, fluffy head. Aroma is kind of fruity, with some apples. Flavor is kind of light, with fruit, sweet malt, and bitterness. Overall a good ale, though not the best from Lost Abbey.

Hazy bright gold with a thick lasting white head. Soft hop nose. Lively mouth feel. Very clean flavour. Gorgeous body with delicate hop flavour. Light hops on a cloud. A very drinkable everyday every occasion beer.

Bottle from Binny’s Lakeview. Nose is nice and spicy hops, some white fruits and yeast. Pours a nice gold with a little cloudiness. Taste is quite bitter and obviously very well hopped. Biscuits and hops, finishes quite dry and with no regrets. Could make this an everyday drinker. Very nice.

Tasting @ Binnys. Slightly hazy amber, very nice rocky white foam, less than spectacular retention, very nice lacing. Aroma is a little bit of pear, with some musty yeast and hop notes. Flavor is bone dry, not in good way, over the top bitterness and not very much in the malt category at all. The taste is sweet, tart and dry. I get sweet malts with hints of wheat as well as tart tones of lemon and a hint of astringency. Not what I expected.
