Bottled on:? Temperature: +12,5 C Yellow-colored with orange hues. Slightly hazy. The head is very small, creamy, and lasts quite some time: 4/5 The nose starts with fruity funkiness/tartness with lime and mild Lemon sourness. The oaky aroma fits well in here, providing subtle vanilla notes and rounding this up. Damn fine scent! 4,5/5 The beer is medium-bodied with high carbonation and a deep, complex sour feel. Other than the sourness this is quite straightforward beer: 3,75/5 The taste has Lemon and lime sourness, fruity tartness, very mild oak notes of vanilla and toasted wood. The aftertaste is a bit sticky and very long-lasting: 11/15 I'm not sure if this is the best showcase of Brettanomyces in beer as the beer is very sour. But other than that this is a solid brew with plenty of flavors and overall everything feels top-notch quality: 15/20 =38,25/50

OLUT: Ghosts In The Forest PANIMO: The Lost Abbey OLUTTYYPPI: Sour (French Oak BA) MAA: Yhdysvallat VAHVUUS: 6,0% VÄRI (EBC): Mandariininkeltainen (19.0) KATKEROT (EBU/IBU): - TUOKSU: Vieno. Omenaa, etikkaa, heinäisyyttä. VAAHTO: Aivan kevyt huntu. GREY'S VIEW Ensi alkuun runsaan sour, kirpakka ja hiilihappoinen. Makuina omenaa, heinäisyyttä, omenamehumaisuutta, mandariinimaista hapokkuutta. Suutuntu on terävämmän puolella, melko runsas happoinen ja innokkaan oloinen tämä on myös. Jälkimaussa keksisyyttä, tammisuuden herätessä mukaan ja heinäisyyden hieman lisääntyessä. MUUTA MAINITTAVAA: Klassisen oloinen sour tynnyrikypsytyksestä huolimatta. Selkeän makuinen vaikka kokonaisuudeltaan onkin hieman tavanomainen.
