BückDich (4559), Boise, Idaho, USA Apr 9, 2008 Bottle: Copper gold, light head and lacing. Nice carbonation. Nose of light fuggels; earthy and stubborn and british tasting. Spritsy mouthfeel, clean base malt, strong bitterness. Decent clean balanced finish. I was picturing a lot different on this one, more belgian, more flavor.
RSRIZZO (1027), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Oct 8, 2008 Aroma is faint with a hint of spice. Color is a hazy yellow orange with light carbonation and thin but tight head with very good head cling. Taste is spicy and bold. Starting with a medium body it goes down light with a crisp feel. Finish is a malty spicy taste with a hint of citrus. After taste a slight bitterness and some citrus. This is a good brew. Headbanger (1001), Aurora, Illinois, USA Oct 8, 2008 750ml bottle(Patron & Saints Club)-Pours a hazy orangish amber body with a small white head. Aroma of yeast, citrus, coriander and saison like, and slight hops. Taste of the same with the hops being fairly prominent. This light to medium bodied brew finishes with a dryness. A diffferent brew but still tasty. lb4lb (1453), Austin, Texas, USA Oct 7, 2008 Pours a glowing bright orange with a light whitish head. Smell is lightly bretty and spiced. Taste is lightly hoppy and dry with some light funky brettiness to it and an almost cereal like component to the malt. Pretty tasty and drinkable, but not one of The Lost Abbey’s standout beers at all. EithCubes (1824), Indiana, USA Oct 1, 2008 $10 bottle, corked and caged from Capone’s, iirc, to enjoy the Phils’ first playoff win in what ... 15 years?. Musty yeast nose, Duvel-like but with some candis and dust. Near-coriander and some saison-ish tones. Hazy golden body still lets light through, brig fluffy, brilliantly white head. Slightly sour, very dry (bone dry!) and bitter with some earthy, leafy overtones, light spice, appreciated rubber gloves and cork astringency. Dusty with most of the contribution from the yeast. Medium body, but the water-sucking body makes it feel a bit fuller than that. Sags under the heat of the country sun, hops are a bit more Belgian than the yeast, dry and refreshing and ultimately interesting! pintocb (418), Darsville, Georgia, USA Sep 27, 2008 A dark golden beer. The aroma is surprisingly hoppy for a Belgian ale, and the flavor supports the nose. I think they brewed an IPA and maybe used a Belgian yeast. Good. Odd. But good.
