Commercial Description:
It’s an unassuming road leading to the priory. Here, off the corner of two intersecting roads, dedicated monks have been making beer for over 150 years. It’s always been a simple life – the kind that requires they brew only enough to sustain the activities of their monastery In the silence of passing seasons, they pray, they brew and retire in a solitary existence behind the sheltering walls. They live a most interesting life. Most likely one we wouldn’t sustain. Nearby, each summer, the trellised fields spring to life as rows of resinous green cones are trained toward the heavens. Rumor is some monks love these hops and being surrounded by budding yellow aromas and the leafy pungent fields inspires them. Since we weren’t sensible enough to locate our brewery near hop fields, we can only offer this blond ale in celebration of our Abbey brethren and their steadfast Devotion.

Pours a golden hazy color with a nice white head. Big hop aroma, spices, yeasts and a little malt in the nose. Flavor is very hoppy, a fresh hoppy at that with some spiciness and a little malt and some yeastiness. I liked this one quite a bit.

On tap at Lost Abbey. Pours a clear golden sheen, creamy white head, and a nice film of lacing on the glass. Dry hopped feel, dry floral notes, hay and wheat in the nose. Big dry hop bite in the mouth, with lots of oaty malt, hay, wheat. Refreshing, crisp and easy to drink.

Light and bubbly, with a definite metallic tone to it. Very crisp and somewhat dry. Seems like this was designed to be a showcase for the yeast flavors, which isn’t worth the spotlight. Solid, but I was disappointed.

Pours a hazy, golden yellow color with foamy, off white head that settles to a thin film. The aroma is of citrus hops, citrus fruit, lemon zest, and some spices. The taste is much the same with the citrus fruit and hops up front with a touch of malt sweetness in the background. There is a good amount of spices in the finish. Medium bodied and easy drinking that leads to a spicy, bitter finish. Pretty straight forward and good for a hot summer day, but nothing overly exciting.

Bottle from daknole. My first brew from Lost Abbey. Cloudy golden in color with a tan head. Aroma of light grass, malt, and yeast. Flavor is yeast with some floral hops. Flavor also contains a bit of an unexpected farmhouse taste. Not my favorite Belgian, but not bad.

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.

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.

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.
