Commercial Description:
Corruption, Greed, and Lust. They're all represented on the hooks of today. Tomorrow, they'll be stinging Gluttony, Desire, and Sloth. Go ahead. Tell yourself you're better than all of them. But you can't. Hell can be funny like that. Down here it's all just sin. Everyone here is screwed just like you. They don't care who you sliced, diced, or cheated. No on is escaping this heinous place. Your roommate is an ax murderer. Eerily, he's not threatening. How can he be? Here, the Fallen Angel owns your body, mind and soul. As such, no one can take your life. It's already been taken. Or was it given? Neither matters. Did you seriously think you were living a virtuous life. At least Satan serves beer in Hell. He brews it himself right there in that flame stoked cauldron. Rumor has it the beer is straw yellow, bone dry and simply labeled Inferno.

Nov 15, 2008. Bottle. Pours cloudy, golden, with a medium white head, good lacing. Strong citrus smell, almost like a wit, with some hay and malt aromas too. Velvety, smooth, fairly thick body. Big malty, fruity sweet flavor but not at all cloying, a little apple and grapefruit. Well balanced, with a mildly bitter finish.

wow, not quite sure ive ever had a beer that fits its own description so well. This beer poured a cloudy straw yellow color with a big white head. Aroma was nice and spicey with hints of clover, some vineous character and yeast. Flavor was really spicey, wheaty, nice amount of hops, just almost hard to explain and extremely dry at the same time. this beer is more wine like than any that ive ever had. Excellent!

22 oz. bottle on 11/1/08. Clear gold pour with a large, durable white head, and stringy lace. Fruity aroma, apricots and light stone fruit, some yeastiness, fresh grain and biscuit all combine well. Light to medium body, very effervescent, clean and dry. Floral honey comes through initially, supplanted early by a spicy bitterness that is well balanced. Very refreshing, clean, yet with a wonderful complexity that begs attention.

Pours clear gold with a puffy white head. Lemon, citrus, and spice in the nose. Fair amount of the same in the taste, but with honey and earthy farmhouse notes. Taverner made a great call with the Sangria-like flavor of this one. A bit too carbonated, but still enjoyable.

Color is a deep gold with great carbonation and a tight white head. Aroma is a mellow citrus scent with a grassy tone and a sour Belgian yeast note. Taste is lemony and sour. Starting with a bold medium body it goes down smooth. Finish comes with a creamy caramel malt flavor then a bold lemon with some sour notes comes in backed by citrus hops and a gentle bitterness. After taste is a lingering citrus bitterness. I think this is one of Lost Abbey’s better brews, most of the others I have tried had low carbonation which took away from there overall enjoyment.
