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.

Thanks to Flacoalto for this one. Pours out a cloudy straw color with a moderate fluffy white head. Aroma is of banana, clove, spice and some yeast. Taste is complex, sweet fruits, banana, yeast, clove and some slight bitterness in the finish. Alcohol is well hidden

Pale yellow, lots of active bubbles, and a thick sticky bright white head. Aroma is soft, some straw, can’t get the granny smith apple until i swirl in the dregs. That really is bone dry. Leathery with faint citrus notes. Alcohol is only noticed much later in my chest, surprising for a beer this delicate. Slightly sour dry wheat finish.

Bomber at Jerry’s. Pale gold with big, foamy white head / Light, delicate nose of banana and lemon / Light body, hop dry, alcohol well-masked, with good, bitter finish / Flavors of grain, lemon, banana, and dry hops / A summer beer, sort of a cross between a pilsner and a wheat beer.

750ml bottle. Light color with somewhat of a haze. Some citrus/fruit, and maybe a pear thrown in there. This is my first from the Lost Abbey, and really like this one.

Light yellow body and lots of lasting white head, with lots of lace left in the glass. A funkly yeast that gives it a funky aroma. Medium mouthfeel, metallic taste. Kind of so-so for the brewer.

candy sugar nose, hop sweetness palate. straw yellow color, thin head. yeast saves this from being quite boring. this loses points for being a non descript belgian, then gains them back and then some considering its not made in belgium at all. still a bit dull.
