| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 17, 2009 (750ml bottle) Giant rocky off-white head atop hazy sparkling apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, yeasty straw, nectarine/apricot, some orange. Taste is moderately sweet, melon/strawberry, yeasty duskiness, some herbal/straw. Some alcohol, though more of a warming effect than anything astringent. Fairly drinkable given its medium-full body, light effervescence. A rather pleasant beer, very Belgian-y, and nothing as radical as the name suggests. plovmand (1692), Helsinge, Denmark

Very fruity aroma with some yeast and hops. Light sour flavour with a spicy and yeasty character. Fresh fruity notes. Medium bodied. Alcohol is well hidden. beachbum25 (786), Powellville, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 13, 2009 750ML 2008 Bottle-Trade w/hellbilly-Hazy golden color w/a fairly large white head. Dry, grassy aroma. Dried spiced flavor, some grain/grass, colander, white pepper, citrus & wheat. Reminded me of a dry Belgian Blond. Good stuff, wasn’t quite what I was expecting after a few of their other brews. Would have drank this one 1st if I realized it was this dry. Good aperitif type brew, Thanks Joshua!! astrivian (16), Colorado, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jun 12, 2009 Pretty good but has a very mild aroma and taste. I think this beer would benefit from a bit of graininess and a touch more hops. NachlamSie (1637), Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 10, 2009 Bottle, thanks to Tronraner. Pours gold with visible carbonation and a massive white head. This is a very dry smelling beer, lots of vinous character. Think sparkling wine. Light spices hit my nose with a dash of herbal tea. The palate is lively and medium bodied. Very dry in the flavor, lots of vinous attitude, and hefty dose of chamomille. tronraner (1916), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 10, 2009 750 mL bottle, split with NachlamSie. Pours hazy gold with big whitish head. The aroma is honey, raw wheat, wood, coriander, cumin, and a sort of vinous alcohol note. The flavor is mellow graininess, some white pepper and coriander, a light orangey note, and a touch of sharp alcohol. The finish is nice and dry, with a wood and light fruit tone that reminds me of a very dry white wine. The aftertaste is nice and warm. This is quite a good beer. vyvvy (2044), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 7, 2009 Pours hazy orange with a soapy white head. The aroma is dry, grainy and chalky with light spice, pale malt and a pils-ish trait. Medium body that is grainy with gentle sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with the aroma traits with some fruit - both citrus and nectar notes blended. Overall this is quite dry. The finish has a dry chamomile taste and is powdery. A fine beer that exceeded what I was expecting. Hudspart (371), Hudsonville, Michigan, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 2, 2009 I drank this a couple of weeks ago. Very good and I wish I could find it locally. Lost Abbey beers are similar to Jolly Pumpkin, one of my favorites.
