hellomynameis (743), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Jul 7, 2008 Light citrusy yellow-orange colour with a thin fine foam head that’s just slightly off white. I’m a bit plugged up today and can’t smell too well. However, it’s got a bit of hops in the aroma. Really nice palate, a bit thick and chewy reminding me of an english bitter. The flavour is really nice, similar to a Duvel, hop notes with some slight spice and dry belgian yeast flavours.
AndrewKScott (412), Lemont, Illinois, USA Oct 11, 2008 Thanks Jimbo. Pours golden with a huge white, rocky head. Aroma of wet hay, fresh dough, apple juice, vanilla, spice and candi sugar. Taste is crisp and dry, with lots of fruits: apples, pears, peaches, some light citrus (like tangerines), a bit of spice and honey. A bit of clove in the finish. An absolutely awesome brew. BritAlesRule (59), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Oct 11, 2008 Smells of Saison from 2 feet away. Peppery, clean and grainy. It poured nice and has a cloudy straw color that is both plain and pretty. Mouthfeel surprises as it’s more oily than spritzy. Alcohol taste is non-existent. Refreshing. Has a creamy-malt background and is a beautifully put-together beer. Good balance.! SpudClampDawg (949), Jasper, Indiana, USA Oct 10, 2008 750ml bottle: Deep gold pour with a sizeable frothy head that leaves surprisingly little lace. Amazingly clean aroma with lots of hay, fresh dough, lemon, white pepper, clean alcohol and fresh cut grass. Moderate carbonation leads into an esthery experience that offers granny apple, sweet pear, underripe peaches. The yeast plays off the moderately maltiness that adds light caramel, straw and earth to the mix. Finishes a bit sweeter than would be preferred, but this is well built and flaw free. I guess imitation is indeed the most sincere form of flattery. Nicely done Lost Abbey. chicagodri (546), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 10, 2008 Thanks BOLTZ! Pours a cloudy gold with a decent size white head. Aroma of citrus, pepper, and yeast. Incredibly easy to drink, 8.5% ABV is well hidden. I love the artwork on the bottle. Could write a lot more, but it has been one hell of a week. checkmatei1 (275), Willow Grove, USA Oct 10, 2008 Bottle: Poured a yellow color with a light head. The aroma was spicy, peppery, malty and citrus. The flavor was similar, spicy sweet and smooth. Overall, my first experience with Lost Abbey and it was a good one. Looking for more from them.
