Huge thanks to Scopey. A whale long lost! Finally! A light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin malts, lemon sherbet, a little lemon acid but not enough to annoy. Dry finish. Just about my sort of sour, it's not trying to perform surgery on my gullet!

19th January 2022, taster in The Church, San Diego. Came in a lovely glass. One of three Barrel Aged beers they had on from Lost Abbey, I had them all. Slight haze to the light golden pour, white topping. Peachy, woody and nice!
