Lost Abbey Isabelle Proximus

Formerly brewed at Port Brewing/Lost Abbey

Isabelle is a beautiful blond with elegance and class. She smells like a flower and tastes like a fruity wine. It’s appearance seems plain but it cam be deceiving with its bite. It’s no sipping beer.

Courtesy of Craig from Sebastian. Thanks guys. Nice cloudy deep straw with white head. Aroma is awesome, fruity and very sour out the wazzooo. What a well balanced bret beer. Not overly sour, but just right. Thanks again guys!!!!

From a 750ml bottle Pours pale/white in color, very cloudy with a small almost head. Smells of lemons, fruit and tart. First sip is pure lemons. Very bitter, sour and tart. Pucker up your lips for this is one fine sour ale. A strong bitter finish, nicely bodied with above average carbonation. So very nice.

Cheers to Morgan for sharing this! Pours blonde with a fast bubbling wispy head, leaves some nice lacing on the glass. Cheesy, farmhouse, funky and incredibly tart on the nose. Pretty spot on for a gueuze. In the mouth, very tart, sour, quite puckering, lemon, some cheesy hops and oak come through. Super dry on the palate, very light with the carbonation leaving it sparkling. Nice strong acidity. This was pretty tremendous.

75 cL bottle, trade with WeeHeavySD - thanks Jon. Pours hazy yellow with a lacing white head. Dense citric and barnyard aroma. Acidic and yet smooth. Milky and acidic with a smooth orange fruity base flavour. Dry and acidic, smooth and woody. Tart finish with a lovely dry wooden note. Elegant and smooth yet bone dry.8-3-9-3-18=4.1
