bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Oct 26, 2007 KSBF07 Poured an orangish with good head. Aroma was lots of floral hops. Flavor was floral hop citrus was a little sour. Overall this is a good beer. well balanced
JB175 (1654), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 22, 2007 Golden-hazy pour with a nice white head. Aroma is grainy and yeasty with a nice bit of citrus. Flavor has a bready, yeasty mix to it with some orange and spice. Nice brew, but way too average to be worth "Lost Abbey" prices. I’ll take these average brews if it means Tomme makes such great brews....... PilsnerPeter (2585), Flushing, New York, USA Oct 22, 2007 Bottle: Hazy, honey-ish golden pour with a frothy white head. The nose is Belgian yeasts, plastic-y phenolic notes, and citruc spices; slightly herbal. Has lively carbonation on the medium body. Spicy citruses dominate. Lots of orange type fruits, herbal undertones, with a spicy (white pepper) character. The finish is long spicy (peppery). Not very complex, but somewhat well made. toncatcher (228), Santee - SAN DIEGO, California, USA Oct 21, 2007 Another awesome offering from Lost Abbey. Pours a light amber with a thin white head. Flavors of spice, hops and malt. ThomasE (5179), Copenhagen, Denmark Oct 18, 2007 Light hazy fully golden colour with a dense white head. Malty, sweet aroma with fruity and light spicy notes with a vague hint of alcohol. Malty, fruity flavor with spicy notes and hints of yeast. light dry finish. Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 13, 2007 Lovely pale yellow with lots of foam, normal Belgian yeasty aroma. Leaf dry hoppiness that works with the yeast, and works up in the finish a fruity and grassy climax. Well done "blonde".
Finished the bomber myself at lunch, I was tempted by the relatively lower ABV. It was a good pale Belgian. eaglefan538 (2355), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Oct 12, 2007 Updated: Oct 21, 2007Re-rate, 10/07, bottle: A bit too malty/sticky for a Belgian Ale, this thing approached a saison, although a decent and competent saison. Plenty of hoppy dryness in the finish, light spicing, but the caramel and fruity malt profile was actually a little bit sticky, too thick/bodied for a great Belgian ale, although enjoyable, nonetheless. Original numbers stand. Original Rating: KSBF07, special little keg. Orangey-amber color, nice initial head. Aroma was floral hops, wheaty grainy malt base. The flavor was firm floral hops, fruity notes, with a citrusey-wheaty slight sourness. Earthy yeasty finish, body is hearty, somewhat crisp. Looking forward to the 750 in my cellar, although this was surely no Orval, not nearly as complex. ChazMania (408), Pasadena, California, USA Oct 12, 2007 Very clear pour, color is pale orange and very clean, no haze at all. Aroma is light and floral with a touch of citrus. Flavor is a very smooth with a really clean aftertaste of green apple/honey/wheat/malt. Low in alcohol and very easy on the tongue.
