12many (231), Ohio, USA Jul 30, 2008 Bottle thanks to bigmmartin. Hazy orange amber with a small white head. Decent lacing. Aroma is some yeast and light malt. Flavor is sweet then a tangy bitterness. Smooth, quite a bit of carbonation, small aftertaste. This is good but didn’t meet my expectations. thenick (742), North Bellmore, New York, USA Jul 28, 2008 Sample @ the brewery. Pours a cloudy golden color with a fluffy white head. Nose was largely herbal, with detectable yeast and slight earthy/spicy notes as well. Taste was largely the same. The beer was smooth but not spectacular in any way. robforbes (1083), Bremerton, Washington, USA Jul 27, 2008 pours a cloudy orange with a wisp of a white head.
smell is faint, touch of caramel, floral, some spice.
taste is on the watery side, a tad bit gritty, tart up front, spice, touch of grapefruit, light sweet fruit, some malt, hops hidden in the back.
overall a great taste and enjoyable just lacking on the appearance and mouthfeel. SQNfan (591), Wheaton, Illinois, USA Jul 27, 2008 This poured a semi-cloudy golden in color with a fluffy white head. The nose showed off herbs, yeast and spice. In the mouth it was medium-bodied with a mellow mid-palate and dry finish. The palate lacks punch and flavor concentration but is well-balanced. Taverner (827), San Ramon, California, USA Jul 21, 2008 Let me say, straight up, this beer perfectly compliments cajun food. So if you’re serving Jambalaya, Dirty Rice or Gumbo - include this beer. It has the hops to fight through the heat of the food, the floral capabilities to "add value" to the meal, and the lingering sour finish to make you want more. Pours golden with white head. Flavor is a mix of bretts, musk and Belgian goodness. JFURYCAT (782), East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 19, 2008 Bottle from Jessup Beverage. A lot of grass and pepper but overall a very drinkable beer despite a somewhat farm-like musky character. This would be nice on tap. Not the best from the brewery though. After Judgement Day I thought hmmmmm. Funknmilla (577), Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 17, 2008 Bottle at Monks..7/15/08...Light copper with a small off-white head...sweet whiffs of light orange and an earthy grassy thing....light and crisp with some citrus bite...poofy in the mouth carbonation...its tart with a bit of a sour finish...light dry and hoppy...was a little disappointed with my first Lost Abbey experience...oh well it went well with the Bass omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Jul 16, 2008 Bottled at Petalax Beer Festival. Pils-like hazy golden with brief lively head. Grassy malt with butter undeneath. Dry, yet fruity with medium body. The grassy malt and hay-like hops makes it reminiscent of a pilsener, but fruitier. Mineraly finish with lingering bitterness. The mouthfeel is cleaner than in my dreams, but it remains very drinkable. I really appreciate the effort to brew tradition style laid back beers, but this is no real masterpiece yet. For ultimate perfection perhaps 10 generations of practive is needed?
