Mar 28, 2008 Like a good, complex smooth IPA that felt like celebrating an occasion (there’s a lot of carbonation up front, reminiscent of a good bottle of bubbly). It has the feel of something from Unibroue, but with a more complex character. Aroma is bready, light but hinting of something more complex. Gives notes of the wort you smell walking by a microbrewery on a crisp morning. Tastes of the rind of orange fruits - tangerines or satsumas, definitely showing hops, but not at all overpowering. It manages to be both bright and complex - would pair perfectly with appetizers (fruit, bread, oil and balsamic, etc.). I was skeptical when I bought it, but this was certainly worth the $10.

Mar 24, 2008 Pours amber with very little head. Aroma and flavor has some nice spices, a little yeasty and some fruit in there. Not one of my favorite beers from Lost Abbey but still solid.

Mar 24, 2008 Pours a light amber with a very thin head with lots of loose bubbles. Aroma is of gooseberries, rubbing alcohol, figs, very dry and spicy/herbal. Taste is a bit too up-front - bold, bitter, and dry. Bit of alco-burn in the finish, dry and lightly tart even. Thin body, decent carbonation. I found this to be very lopsided - no sweetness to balance, no malt character or complexity.

Poured nice golden/amber yellow. huge lively head from a hard pour. Smell of cloves, spice, coriander, wheat, nutmeg and peppar. Taste is pretty much the same. Nice mouth feel with a pretty good carbonation. Great Biere de Garde from Tomme.
