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.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden yellow color. Uncorked bottle had aroma of sweet apples and slight spice. Lots of tiny bubbles make for a nice palate. Taste of yeast, clove, spice with a very smooth finish. Beautiful beer on a hot summer night. Would buy again.

Think Duvel, without less carbonation. There’s an old saying about imitation and flattery, and it applies here.

Thanks Jimbo. Pours golden with a huge white, rocky head. Aroma of wet hay, fresh dough, apple juice, vanilla, spice and candi sugar. Taste is crisp and dry, with lots of fruits: apples, pears, peaches, some light citrus (like tangerines), a bit of spice and honey. A bit of clove in the finish. An absolutely awesome brew.

Smells of Saison from 2 feet away. Peppery, clean and grainy. It poured nice and has a cloudy straw color that is both plain and pretty. Mouthfeel surprises as it’s more oily than spritzy. Alcohol taste is non-existent. Refreshing. Has a creamy-malt background and is a beautifully put-together beer. Good balance.!

750ml bottle: Deep gold pour with a sizeable frothy head that leaves surprisingly little lace. Amazingly clean aroma with lots of hay, fresh dough, lemon, white pepper, clean alcohol and fresh cut grass. Moderate carbonation leads into an esthery experience that offers granny apple, sweet pear, underripe peaches. The yeast plays off the moderately maltiness that adds light caramel, straw and earth to the mix. Finishes a bit sweeter than would be preferred, but this is well built and flaw free. I guess imitation is indeed the most sincere form of flattery. Nicely done Lost Abbey.
