Lost Abbey Saints Devotion 08

Brewed by Port Brewing/Lost Abbey
Style: Belgian Ale
San Marcos, California USA

[Bottle] shared by STLWill. Pours a little bit hazier than the regular version, smells very spicy, which comes of as a hoppiness not unlike saaz. More herbal and more earthy than the regular version. Flavor matches the aroma to a ’T’.

Sampled from 750 bottle and shared by STLWill. Pours a semi-hazy orange amber colored brew with a decent off-white head that slowly dissipates to a thin white ring with some spotty lacing. Aroma of fruity apple/pear, some golden grain malt with wheat, some Belgian yeast, banana and funky Brett. Taste is slightly tart, some carbonation with flavors of caramel, horse blanket, some Brett funk, orange zest and a touch of Christmas potpourri. Finish is slightly tart with some lemon zest and tart fruit fruit aftertaste.

Courtesy Beerlando. Slightly cloudy orange color with an even thin white head. Excellent floral aroma, slight sweet grains, bready funk, complex. Dry taste to start, nice Brett component, Belgian yeast, flowers. Excellent.

CPLYFO 09. Pours a blond slight hazy with a nice white head- fluffy and sticky good lace. Aroma is big toasty and bready pils malts, yeasty, phenolic, hints of citrus and grapefruit with a fruit estery profile- strange phenolics with a horse blankety and tropical fruit brett character. Bretty with fresh dough but also some dirty horse, funk, and weird acetates- acids, esters, and a green hop presence. Finish is funky and smooth with a great dry aftertaste. This was really nice, but not phenomenal. I liked it better than regular Devotion so that’s good.

25.4 oz bottle. Clear orange with a sudsy white head. Nose is apple, light lemon, peach, apricot and a touch of barnyard. Medium body with buzzy carb; a touch oily. Taste is lemon marmalade, sharp green grass and honey. Dry peppery finish. The brett is only mildly apparent.

750 ml bottle, Thanks pantanap for sharing this brew! Pours a hazed orange with a white creamy head. Fresh green hoppy, spicy, and slightly funky aroma. Tart orange caramel malt flavors with an enjoyable hop bitterness and brett funkiness. The brett is pretty slight and I’d like to see more of it, but its still enjoyable at this stage. Funky, hoppy, tasty, and drinkable beer. Thanks Kan!

Side by Side with Devotion thanks to Beerlando. Orangish color, slightly cloudy. White foamy head. Citrusy spicy nose with some light horseblanket. Flavor is pretty similar to the devotion. Lots of spicy yeast, orange peel and citrus. A slight hint of tartness but its very faint. Could use more brett. Solid saison like belgian though.

Bottle. Orangish/gold color with a white head. Aroma is full of citrus, funk and malty. Flavor is funky, tart, some fruitiness and a tad of yeast. Just ok.
