The Lost Abbey Carnevale Brewery: An In-depth Review

I embarked on my adventure to The Lost Abbey Carnevale Brewery with high expectations, and surprisingly, those expectations were met and surpassed as I sipped on one of their seasonal delights – the Brett saison. A delightful amalgamation of wild yeast and the flavours they impart, this saison offered me a unique and memorable experience.

Presentation: The First Impression

The beer arrived at our table in an elegant, purposeful presentation. However, on examination, the score of 3 out of 5 makes it evident that the appearance left a bit to be desired. Nonetheless, the rustic hues of the saison created a visually appealing play of colors that added to the beer’s charm.

Scents That Envelop the Senses

The aroma of the saison is where it shines indisputably. Scoring a staggering 11 out of 12, it sprawls an aromatic canvas of peach, pineapple, dry white wine, tangerine, and red berries, accentuated by the essence of oak. The brewers certainly bring a symphony of rewarding smells to the table. A sniff of this beer immediately draws your senses into an orchestration where fruit melodies harmonise flawlessly with woodsy notes.

Flavour: Complexity at Its Finest

With a score of 19, the saison’s flavor stands out as a strong, captivating characteristic. Initially, there is an aggressive carbonation that creates a somewhat harsh first impression – but don’t let it deter you. As the beer settles in your mouth, you begin to appreciate the light sweetness that plays throughout the drink, tempered beautifully by a moderate acidity. A slight tannic bitterness in the finish adds to the complexity of the beer’s flavour, making each sip a distinct experience.

On the Palate: The Culmination

A score of 4 accurately captures my sentiments on the beer’s mouthfeel, a smooth experience that brings the beer’s symphony to a satisfying finale. The brew cascades on the palate in undulating waves of yeasty and malt-forward notes, interspersed with the crisp, invigorating flavours furnished by the Brett. A distinct lack of fruity character might throw off fans of fruitier beers, but it’s this simplicity that makes it a great food-pairing beer. It’s a beer that offers true comfort -one that establishes an easy connection with every sip.

Wrap Up

Based on this detailed exploration, I have to agree with our editors’ thoughts. It truly is a brew that both celebrates the characteristics of wild yeast while also highlighting flavors that could only come from a dedicated brewing team. The Lost Abbey Carnevale Brewery is definitely a brewing wonderland you should visit, with the Brett saison being an absolute must-try. Scoring 92 out of 100, it’s a beer that’s truly the emblem of the brewery’s impeccable skill and artistry. Cheers to that!
