First saison and first Lost Abbey

Beautiful golden pour with a thick white head. There is a nice wheat smell with a little herb touch. It's an easy drinking beer with slight bitterness on the back end. Overall I enjoyed this beer. I would like to try this with another saison to see some difference, so if anyone has any suggestions on a great saison please drop me a message and let me know. Also kudos to lost abbey on the bottling and presentation of there beers. I know a lot of people that buy beer based on the labeling and bottles and this will definatly attract them. I can't wait to try other lost abbey brews

A: The beer is clear light golden yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger and a half high bright white head that gradually died down, consistently leaving a thin head covering the surface and a coating of bubbles down the sides of the glass.
S: Light aromas of orange peel and yeast are present in the nose along with some hints of yeast.
T: The taste very much follows the smell and also has some hints of ginger with some peppery spices towards the finish.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and rather dry on the palate with a moderate to high amount of carbonation.
O: This saison is a very good representation of the style and I enjoyed the complexity of its flavors and the dryness and carbonation in the mouthfeel.

Poured out as a hazy yellow color with a thin white head on top. Decent thin retention and light lacing. The smell is slightly funky, a little acidic and floral. The taste of the beer is slightly spicy, some lemon citrus and earthy bitterness. The mouthfeel has a bready creaminess, it's light and slightly refreshing. Overall it's a decent Saison.

Pours a nice golden yellow with white rolling lacing. Great smell of apples/citrus and has a smooth taste that you want to keep taking another sip. Doesnt really leave a lingering aftertaste except for some sour fruit but definitely not a bad thing. Great for sitting in the sun and drinking.

a: A nice hazy orange color with a small head that faded pretty quickly. Looks nice.

s: Big yeasty notes, some bread and a nice apple/ light citrus. Not overwhelmingly strong though.

t: A slight tart/ bitter note that goes into a the yeast breadiness. Nothing too bready.

m: medium carbonation, perhaps could use more. Not too thin.

Overall this is a solid beer.
