| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Odd label notes - what priory are they going on about? Champagne bottle with a quaint, rustic drawing on the label. Big, foamy head on a cloudy tan pour. Pleasantly sweet and spicy in the nose. This is a fairly light and dry Belgian ale that is lacking esters. This would be a good summer brew - it is refreshing and lightly bittered, with flavors of wheat, pith, and a little lime. Not bad, but did they need a champagne cork for this? I think not. patrickfannon (342), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Bottle. 25.4 oz. Split with Braden and Jack. Pours slightly hazy golden with a thick, full white head. Aroma of citurs, wheat, hay, and honey. Medium bodied. Smooth, clean mouth feel. Average finish. Decent brew, but I expected more from Lost Abbey. dmac (1466), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2009 750 ml cork and caged bottle from Abes. Pours an ugly shade of light brown with lots of clinging bubbles and a thick full creamy bright white head. Aroma is solid with green apples, honey, yeast, toffee, and cereal. The body has some fizzy carbonation and a quick hint of sweetness before turning very dry. The flavor has just a hint of fruit but is mostly grain and cereal dominant. Although a very solid beer I wouldnt exactlly say Im devoted to this one. tmoreau (579), Lombard, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 28, 2009 On tap at Brixie’s, Brookfield, IL. and served in a Lost Abbey tumbler. Poured a clear, deep gold with a silky, white foam to the head and thick sheets of lasting lace which reminded me of a nitro pour. The nose was lightly floral, esters, and sweetness. The flavor presented a lasting dryness, light grain as wheat and a moderate hop bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel, light bodied, dry, and smooth. tarheels86 (757), Washington DC, USA

Pours a cloudy light yellow with a small, white head that leaves very good lacing. Aroma is musty, yeasty, honey, watermelon bubblegum. Taste is clover honey, candi sugar, yeast and well balanced by grassy, herbal hops. Big hop presence and dry, grassy hop finish. Goes down quickly. Overall it is light, refreshing, and well balanced albeit a bit boring (and expensive). Bragesnak (2257), Aarhus, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 16, 2009 Described by Tomme as a Belgian blonde ale, this light yellow beer sported a tiny offwhite head. The Aroma was herbal and hoppy, with some underlying light sweetness and some yeast. Flavor is slightly bitter with some ballancing sweetness and floral hop character. Refreshing and flavorful, one of the best takes on the style Ive had to date. oteyj (764), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 15, 2009 Hazy yellowish beer with a small white head. Aroma is quite hoppy for the style- the dry hopping really shows through here. Excellent take on the style- almost like an american pale ale with a huge belgian yeast twist. Lots of bitterness with some sweet malt and floral bitterness. Palate is medium to full with an effervescent mouthfeel and swet finish.
