Tonight's beer: The Lost Abbey Inferno
Opens with a splash of grassy-floral bitterness, alongside threads of pine and maybe citrus. Pale-bready sweetness through the middle, touches of caramel and pale fruits (pears and apples, mostly). Slides quickly to almost-punishingly dry, with strong possibilities of Brett around the finish. Hints of herbs and wine around the finish.
A little lighter than medium-bodied, with lots of carbonation. Impressively drying and powerfully refreshing. Remarkably little indication of the 8.5% ABV. Wraps up surprisingly clean and cleansing.
Wow. I don't know if the Brett is intentional, but this is very, very nice. Otherwise, a convincing and almost conventional Belgian Strong Pale Ale. Beautifully well-integrated, staggeringly complex and intense; drinkable as hell (appropriately enough). ANother beautiful beer from The Lost Abbey.
