Abbaye de St Landelin Mythique

Pale yellow color, slightly hazy. Enormous white and uneven head that leaves chunky lacings as it settles. Fragile malt aromas, white bread, some yeast, faint herbal notes, lemon and some grass in the nose. The alcohol is noticeable. A weak, boring and uneven smell. The taste has a thin malty background, some bready notes and a faint note of peach. Rather sweet. Some grassy hops and faint hop resins. Lemon and herbs. The finish is short, mildly bitter and is dominated by an almost boozy phenolic taste of alcohol. The taste is not pleasant at all - boring, uneven and unidimensional. The taste of alcohol is down right unpleasant. Light body at first but as the alcohol develops in the finish it gets oily and quite sticky. This is not god. This was a huge disappointment. I wasn’t expecting much from this one, but still it failed to meet my expectations. Not recommended. Serving type: bottle (Copy of old Beer Advocate review)

Bottle. A hazy pale golden beer with a medium sized, fizzy, mostly diminishing white head. The aroma is poweful, but not refined and much pleasant. Too sweet, suagary, with fruits notes and light hops. But grainy and alcoholic. The flavour is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. A bit cloying. Medium to full body, lively carbonation, long finish with light to medium bitterness. Industrial and useless.

Medium white head. Paleish yellow body with light carbonation. Fruity earthy metallic aroma with floral papery notes. Dryish mealy fruity metallic taste with floral earthy notes. Light body. Sharpish mealy mouthfeel. Dry earthy perfumy floral metallic aftertaste with papery toffee notes. Not bad, but lacking in subtlety. (0.75l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)

Bottle. A bit boring maybe, not very complex, but i like theese kind of hoppy belgian ales.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours clean clear golden with a big white head Soapy hop flavour and some belgian fruityness. Got dull after half a glas

Blond color; nice perlage but the foam is suspicious (eggwhite; maybe there has been something added to enhance it). The aroma actually has the faintest flowery and grassy hop in it. It has a reasonable body strength, light malt flavor, with some sweetness; the mouthfeel is quite smooth; there is a delicate hoppy touch in the end, correct bitterness and light alcohol warmth. The final is balanced but short. Overall, a delicate and pleasant brew.
It won the Bronze Medal at Concours Général Agricole 2009, with some merit in the French beer panorama, maybe an easy beer when analyzed from a worldwide perspective.

Bottled. Hazy pale golden, small head. Fruity sweaty nose. Sweet, sloppy and fruity. Some vanilla and grain, notes of orange. Low bitterness. Rather pointless.

750ml bottle from Systembolaget. Body is pale golden. White head. Aroma is sweet, yeasty, citrus and dough. Flavor: Sweet, marmalade, citrus and a light pepper tone.
