The Lost Abbey Devotion

Description

Aroma: Designed to be a hop driven beer, the aroma presents mostly European variety hops with underlying notes of fresh hay and grassy fields. There is a very low level of yeast phenols present and much of the subtle spice come from the aromatic hops. Taste: A lighter bodied beer that immediately makes an initial hop impression followed by a brief thinning layer of malt which is swallowed in the driest finish by a driven hop expression.Pairing: Hop driven beers find excellent partners in spicy dishes ranging from Fish Tacos to Thai Food. As this is a very dry beer, it’s best served with dishes that emphasize less robust flavors and are more spiced than savory driven.

Another tasty selection from Lost Abbey, this golden-orange beauty opens with forward scents of sweet spice and citrus peel that are framed by a solid hop profile-not surprising coming from this brewery. The aromas carry through to the slightly creamy and medium-bodied mouthfeel, coupled with a core of Asian pear and green melon-rind fruit flavors that lend richness to the astringent hop characteristics. Fine yet ample carbonation keeps the palate lifted, while hints of sweet grass and grapefruit rind unfold on the brisk and pleasantly bitter close.
