Nov 21, 2007 Big hoppy belgian brew. Pours slightly hazy gold with a tall white head. Sort of doughy and honey malt flavor with a grassy hop finish. Crisp and light on the palate letting some of the earthy esters stand out. Like a belgian pils, nice beer.

Nov 20, 2007 Pours a cloudy light copper color with a persistent 1 cm thick white head. Aroma has a fresh grassiness of which hops is one component, others being a Belgian yeastiness and a slight spicy malt profile. The taste is dry, with some yeast coming out towards the finish, which has a definite hop presence, even though it isn’t really strong. Some the characteristics here reminded me of a saison. An interesting brew.

Nov 15, 2007 650 ml bottle from South Bay Drugs. Pours a cloudy unfiltered yellow-orange color with a big fluffy white head that slowly dissipates to !/4 inch and leaves plenty of lacing. The aroma is mild in strength with notes of sweet breads, caramel and earthy yeast. The flavor is slightly biter with green hops, cedar, and thyme. The mouthfeel is silky smooth, full and satisfying. The Finish features more biter hops. Overall: This is a fine drinkable Belgian. Recommended.

Nov 15, 2007 Pours a foggy golden brown with minimal head. Nose is earthy and almost like a raw sugar. Nice level of smooth funk there. Flavor is nice and consistent. Nothing showy or strange, but mature in it’s profile and completely even. Feel is smooth with a higher level of carbonation. This is a very good belgian ale. If you have the chance to try it, I think you should.

Nov 9, 2007 Bottle: Dark marmalade in color, very hazy, thick, large foamy off-white head, clumpy lacing. Herbal/Floral aroma, slightly earthy, a
little barnish and/or musty. Somewhat weird as it has an herbally aspect to it I haven’t seen in any other beers. Flavor comes
across pretty much the same, low hop presense, with a majority of it being this earthy floral and herbal combination. Slightly dry,
very minor sweetness. Seems to have a very minor astringent woodiness, maybe its weeds, like dandelion maybe? Moderate body and
mouthfeel. Finish is a little astringent, weed like astringency. Yeah, I would say this is like a floral/herbal earthy pale
belgian, as it does have a bit of musty/barnish qualities. However, it also has this really week Dandelion stalk like astringency.
Not bad, but pretty plain. Probably my least liked Lost Abbey so far.
