 For this episode of brutal battle beer break. I'm going to be getting to know a beer by the lost Abby at a San Marcos, California Haven't done one on the podcast or on this show the YouTube version here So this will be a first for lost Abby stuff. Like I said out of San Marcos, California This is an ale that has hops and Britannia mices. So it should have some funky probably sourish Notes to it, and it is 6.8 percent alcohol by buying a lot of the Beers that are put out by lost Abby are cork and caged. This one obviously as you can see no different See if we can get that satisfying pop out of it More than satisfying actually Love that love that noise just a nice clean pop All right, let's get this in the glass Decent amount of head as I pour it Very white pillowy head to it Oh, let's just see. See lost Abby. It's Saints devotion is the name of the beer This one came with my rare beer the month club. Yes, the Michael Jackson curated rare beer the month club So anyway, I should say Michael Jackson created rare beer the month club not the singer Super clear beer very orange-ish a little yellowish tinge to the orange nice big head like I was saying It looks really nice man. This is so filtered. It's just like super clear. Oh Yeah, it smells sour you get a lot of like lemony Little bit of like a peel note in there on the lemon, but so much like acidic lemon juice Smells a little bit of like a spiciness in there, too Probably coming from the hops a little piney earthy To go along with that Smells a tad bit of stringent Which is kind of odd, but that also may be a little bit of confusion with the acidic nature Anybody who doesn't know about Britannia Macy's I'm assuming a lot of people do at this point because it's become pretty popular It's just a yeast that produces a lot of acidic acid Originally was viewed as being a terrible thing because it created very undesirable Notes in beers, but then people figured out how to use them to their benefit and make good beers like gooses ood broons Sour farmhouse ales things like that Hmm Okay, there's a slight bit of sourness to it. It's really not all that sour honestly I'm getting a significant spiciness. I'm getting that funk. You get this kind of interesting funkiness with Britannia Macy's as well Yeah, the sourness is really just kind of a little bit at the end But when it's when the beer is kind of Trailing off and what it's leaving on my palate is more of like a bitter Rind like lemon rind type flavor with just the slightest bit of sourness And like I was saying, you know, it's got that spiciness. It's got that kind of earthiness from the hops E I mean I'm getting the funk from the Britannia Macy's which is kind of nice. I'm getting a slight bit of acid, but Not all that impressed with this beer to be honest Hmm It's okay. It's an easy drinking beer I'll keep drinking it no problem. I don't know it might be a situation where god damn it Breweries bottle date bottle date, please. It could be a little on the older side. So therefore a lot of like the hop notes Have kind of died out. You know, maybe it was a more robust beer before but as it is I'm gonna be honest. I'm not really gonna recommend this beer to people E So our first experience on the show with lost Abby.
