Lost Abbey Yellow Bus

This presently top-50 beer is entered to celebrate my 1900th US rating. Bottled at RBSG 2008. A hazy golden beer with a white head. The aroma is acidic with notes of malt, citrus, wood, and brettanomyces. The flavor is acidic with quite strong notes of wood and brettanomyces, with a tart finish. Very nice.

RBSG 2008. Pours gold, medium cloudiness with a small white head. Tart peach nose, funky and delicious. Earthy and some lemon notes. This really came together well, the fresh juicy peach flavors and the spicy estery finish just played off each other really well.

Sampled at RBSG. Slightly cloudy golden color with a thin, even layer of white foam. The aroma has a nice sharp acetic funk that is calmed by the presence of the fruity sweetness of peach flesh. The combination of sweet and sharp works great. Taste has moderate acidity, the peach presence a little less apparent, but still there. Slight musky notes add a welcome balance to the sweet characters. The use of peaches here is executed brilliantly. I keep trying to look for reasons to not give this such a high score, but I can’t find any.

damn tasted at the rbsg ...thanks tommee so much for sharing this with us great notes of white peach mixed with the funk...beautifully balance acidity and funk and fruit.......my favorite beer by the lost abbey.....well bourban barreled angels share is damn good too

Bottled at Lost Abbey, 2007 bottle. Poured just about clear medium golden with a short, fizzy cap of white head. The aroma was powerful with tart peach skins and lesser apricot upfront and a fresh, spicy oak impression supporting it.. very assertive. The flavor found bracingly tart peach skins that singed the tip of the tongue for an initial impression.. some meaty peaches rolled in behind along with a second hit of acidity (vinegar and more peach skins).. engaging throughout. Lots of lip-puckering sourness on the palate along with light scratchy bitterness and zesty wheat.. long, bone-dry, memorable finish. Excellent!
