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 hazy golden with a good sized head. Aroma of funk, some bread, and hops. Seemed to be quite a bit more bitter than I was expecting.

Oct. 2007 - Golden yellow pour, with one finger head and minimal lacing. Aroma of pepper and pearlike fruits. Flavor was initally dry, spicey/peppery. As it warmed, more sweet pear emerged, but still subdued sweetness from pearlike fruits with a strong pepper dryness. Syrupy mouthfeel, a bit overly sticky. Nice carbonation level. Good beer. Thanks to eaglefan538 for sharing.

750 ml bottle, good fruity funky nose but flavor is very soft and mild, crisp almost metallic finish doesn’t work too well, well put together but the flavor is less than you would expect

750 ml bottle - pours hazy pale orange with big white head that quickly fades; aromas of bread, candy with a nice mix of sweet and sour; medium body but kind of light on the flavor; some apple with minor tartness

From Capone’s swell selection. With Easter turkey dinner. More hoppy than the style would or should dictate. Not devoted to this one from Lost Abbey, more of a disappointment. I’ll pass on this one next time.

Tried from the first keg a the brewery. Pours a light gold with a small head. Nice hop character with a sweet fruit nose. Dry mouthfeel with a nice yeasty charcter. The hops are not there in the taste. NIce bready character. A good example of a belgium ale from Tomme and gang.

Dark golden with medium head. Aroma of sugar, apricot and a bit of yeast. Smooth mix of spicy/c hops with bready malt. Light and enjoyable with a very bitter finish. Mild alcohol. Enjoyable; almost like a lighter version of the Signature Ale they did with DeProef.
