Ungstrup (14758), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 31, 2008 Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong ntoes of hops, giving it primarily grassy notes, but also lighter notes of grapefruit. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of grass and grapefruit. Thanks Jeppe for sharing. Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA May 26, 2008 Sampled during Dark Lord Days at guest picnic tables. From 22-oz bomber pours a semi-clear light orange amber brew with a thin white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and no ring. Aroma of light sweet caramel malt, some raisins, white pepper and a touch of apple. Taste is medium bodied, very little carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, chocolate, a touch of apple and some dried spice. Finish has a thin citrus and fruity aftertaste that slowly disappears. Naka (524), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA May 26, 2008 An orangish gold color with an off-white foamy head. A little bitterness and honey in the aroma. Some grainy straw characteristics. Has a fruity pear hop flavor. A nice warming alcohol feeling. Leaves a very strong bitterness on the tongue for a Belgian style. A little honey and sweetness. It is kind of thin too. emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA May 25, 2008 Thanks to whoever brought/shared this. Pours a nice hazy gold with a one finger white head. The nose is lightly hoppy, nice citrusy belgian aroma, a little grassy, earthy. The flavor is very easy and sessionable, earthy, waxy/bitter hoppy feel, spicy, hoppy Belgian. Has a spicy waxy mouthfeel with a nice carbonation. The finish is citrusy and waxy. An underrated brew in my opinion. Pwn3d (1040), Manhattan, New York, USA May 24, 2008 I’ve really wanted to try a Lost Abbey brew, this was reasonably priced so I figured i’d give it a try. 750ml bottle at Monks Cafe. Huey orange pour. Hoppy aroma, bitter but has a belgian feel to it. Seemed like a hybrid of a hoppy pale ale and a trappist. Very unique, really glad i got to try it. chrisafari (100), Orange, California, USA May 23, 2008 Updated: Jul 4, 2008On tap at Port Brewing/Lost Abbey in San Marcos. Pours Golden blonde and super clear. Aroma of sweet citrus from the Belgian yeast. Begins sweet and complex, but ends with a nice kick of hops. Good mix between a sweet and smooth Belgian and hops. A great beer for a warm summer day. ahalloin (54), Arlington, Virginia, USA May 23, 2008 Updated: Jul 10, 2008I had a nice little taste of this at the brewery, thanks to the generous nature of the Lost Abbey clergy! Poured a golden yellow color with great lacing. The beer is largely clear, but the head brewer told me it is not filtered. The aroma is largely of belgian yeast and apricot. A drink reveals a fruity sweetish nose that gives way to a dry-hopped finish. Excellent brew! jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA May 23, 2008 Updated: May 24, 2008750mL bottle @ Monks in Philly. This beer pours a cloudy orange body with a small head. The aroma is very light - with some hops present. The taste is hops as well - closer to a pale ale than a Belgian, but still a solid brew.
