Where do I begin with this beer made by Lost Abbey in San Marcos, CA. I'll start with the pour, which reminded me of a Duvel in the way the head formed so dense and meringue like. What followed was to me, a crisp and clean smell of citrus. The smooth citrus with the sweetness of the Belgian yeast was a fantastic combination that I highly recommend. The beer went down so well when paired with Cedar Plank Salmon and Salad. At the time I was disappointed that I only chilled one 22 oz bottle. At 8.5% Alcohol by Volume, this beer did its job and I would gladly recommend it.
I'm drinking Gift of the Maji right now, which is the holiday offering from Lost Abbey, and all I can say is, WOW! These guys know how to brew - an almost perfect blending of bitter and sweet, with a bit of citrus in the finish. Really good stuff!
