Bottle, purchased at Lost Abbey today.
As the label says, straw yellow. The head is white. Nice dry mouth feel that finishes with some slightly lemony tartness. It’s very easy drinking & considering how dry it is, very smooth on the palate. I like it.

Tastes fruity, with apricot, orange, spicy yeast, floral, and white peppery notes. Rich, complex palate. Very nice example of this style.

Jul 20, 2008 750 ml split in Duvel glass. Pale hazy orange with lasting fluffu white head and lotsa lace. Lemony grassy aroma with mild yeast. Hint of orange creme pop sweetness with spicy mildly bitter extremely dry finish. Possibly the driest beer I’ve had. Did I say dry? Medium-light body, a touch of thinness, perfect for today at 95 degrees. Excellent.
