Preview bottle, Brouwer’s, March ’08
Milky sediment on this. Blonde, with a thick head. Yeasty, slightly floral, and slightly mushroomy. Spritzy, still milky-looking at this point, lending a nice sugary sweet malt character, reminiscent of the way the yeast does this to a nigori. Light floral, peppery notes. Finishes dry and assertively yeast. Cooool - this’ll be a fun one.

May 20, 2008 Tasted this a few months ago from a bottle pre shipment at LA, it was pretty tasty, pretty bretty and overall I like it much more than Carnival. I hope to have it again.

May 16, 2008 draft @ brouwer’s sour fest - dark, cloudy orange with white head fading to the edges; texture on the light side with lots of cream in the body; rich flavors of yeast and grain; perfectly smooth and no sourness or much effect from the brett; rich flavors of banana, citrus and slight spice; very rich and chewy; overall, this blew me away and as my second of the night, pretty much wrecked my pallet for the remainder of the evening; drinks soft and smooth, and basically my kind of beer; can’t wait to see this again at brouwer’s in the not to distant future; cheers to lost abbey for a total knockout
