Lost Abbey Yellow Bus

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

Thanks to Tomme & team for sharing this at RBSG 2008 The white peaches used in this ale complement the sourness nicely. The balance of sweet & sour makes this a very tasty brew.

750 ML bottle hand written Yellow Bus. Thanks to toncatcher for sharing this one. Aromas of tart sour apricots, some peach, and other funky fruits. Flavor is super sour and super good. Lots of carbonation. Very good. Thank you Dennis.

750 ml. bottle from the brewery. Pours orange-ish with a medium off-white head. Aroma of apricots and other summer fruit, peaches and plums. Flavors were apricots and peaches with lots of funky sour notes.

750ml bottle from Toncatcher via Tomme, wow, I’ve waited a long time for this, and it was worth it. Shared with Toncatcher, Padrefan, Fordest and AlohaC. Thanks so much Dennis. Pours orange with a half finger bright white head. Nose is super tart with notes of apricot and some peach. Taste is wow wow big time super tart sour and really very nice. Some fruit in there too some peach and some apricot. Love it.

Lucky enough to catch this one on tap at the brewery. Cloudy golden with almost no head. Strong sour fruit aroma. Good sour bite and peach taste. Quite good.

Sample pulled from the barrel by Tomme. Thanks again! Bright orange/yellow and pretty cloudy. Nose is acidic, peaches and cheese. Horse blanket and leather(?) Taste is mouth puckering sour. Lemon, oak and light peach. Little bit of sugar and mellow yeasty flavors. Mouth feel was good with a thick syrupy feel. No carbonation as it was pulled from the barrel. Seeing this one finally come together and being able to taste was a great experience. Cheers to Tomme for letting me taste this one.

This one has what I lovingly refer to as pucker power. Hazy and unfiltered, with a musty kind of stinky cheese aroma, almost Burgundian in nature. Slightly dusty, with a fair amount of tart acidic fruit flavors and just a hint of fruity peach flavors in the finish that become more apparent as it warms. Enjoyable, with just the right amount of Brett.

Draught at Brouwer’s Café: Pinkish straw, very hazy, thin white sudsy head, falls quickly.   Semi-sweet musty nose, really dusty and basement like.   Pale sourness on the tongue, moderate sweetness, but the Peach aspect is more like the pit than the meat.   Gets a bit more sweet as it warms.   Decent sourness, almost more inclined to say it is fairly tart.   Lingers long, tiz good and dry.   Very clean.   Moderate to full body and mouthfeel.   Does have a really dusty or moldy like aftertaste.   Not as peachy as say New Belgiums offering, but equally as good.
