Draught @ Lost Abbey Church, San Diego. Funky, sour and mineraly with loads of juicy peaches, nectarine, oak and hints of vanilla. Quite balanced and complex sour

Refrigerated 75 cl 2020 bottle corked and capped. Slightly hazy golden with medium white head. Aroma is delicate light malt, medium body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is sour citrus.

16 ounce can. Dark amber color topped by a pillowy beige head. Nice lacing. Fragrant citrus and tropical fruit aroma. Bittersweet citrus flavor upfront. Notes of grapefruit and resiny pine dominate the palate. Plenty of hop bitterness throughout. The malt backbone does well to balance the assertive hop bill. Very nicely done.

On tap @The Church. Clear & classy amber brown with a sticky oatmeal head. I don't think I've had this beer in 15 years. Cold nose. Couldn't warm it enough to matter. Smooth. Gently sweet malt, mellow spice, faint wood, fainter cocoa, brandy, faded piney hops, tea tannin finish. Great.

On tap @The Church. Very dark brown with ruby highlights; oatmeal head. Gently toasty, rounded, semi-sweet & nutty dark brown, a bit oxidized, but has a delicately spiced earthy nose. Pretty damn sweet. Soft char, raisin, roasted veg, Belgian Candi sugar, silky mouthfeel, bite of acid on the finish. Backtracking pith bitterness that was never there but suddenly reappears. Cool. Great.
