toncatcher (205), Santee - SAN DIEGO, California, USA May 17, 2008 Picked up bottle fromthe 2nd anniversery party. Someone mentioned this was a Duvel clone, not really. Pours "straw yellow" with a thick head. Flavors not what I expected, doughy , yeasty, and some citrus. All in all, and o.k. offering from LA.
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 (948), 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. PhillyBeer2112 (1861), Orange Park, Florida, USA Oct 9, 2008 Courtesy redlight. Hazy yellow gold. Light lace and head. Lightly phenolic nose. Bubblegum notes. Pretty easy drinking. herbal hopping. Nice balanced finish.
