Lost Abbey Inferno Ale

Pours a clear gold with a generous well sustained white head. Smells of caramel, light citrus, cumin, some clove, perfume, wildflowers, spicy hints. Tastes dry and moderately bitter with a nice citrussy element that gives way to some underlying nuttiness as the beer warms. Nice peppery splashes dot this beer balancing it out nicely. A slam dunk!

Bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar. After uncorking the bottle I could already begin to smell wild and heavily spiced yeast greet my nasal passage ways. The beer sat densely in my glass as a dirty and hazed with sediment blonde topped by a fluffy pillow of foam. Upon taking the first sip I was immediately gratified with a bold spicy yeast decked with unknown seasoning, ginger and pepper. Aftertaste leaves behind a minor reminder of soapy water and a bit of a lingering metallic taste.

Pours gold into a Trappist glass. White head with medium retention leaves no lacing as it recedes to hug rim. Candi and hop aromas. Crisp and well balanced with upfront caramel and a lasting resin finish.

Another fine offering from lost abbey...from a 750 ml bottle, poured straw colored with a duvel like white head.., first smell and you get a nice funk,with grass, and a bit of the aroma of the finer stains of cannabis..first taste, a perfec t, albeit light, taste of herbs, funk and a nice peek of the alcohol..several glasses later, i truly appreciated this fine offering, thank you to tomme, our cali pope of beer..

750 ml bottle, corked and caged, from South Bay Drugs. Hazy orange tinged golden color with an ephemeral white head. Smells like a tripel on brett with cardamom. And a bit of candi. Medium bodied with lightly fizzy carbonation. It is more bitter than sweet - like bergamot. Extremely pleasant. Lightly earthy. Definitely dry. Moderately spicey. Ends up like bitter light stone fruit. Not strongly bitter. A really quaffable ale. Great taste.
