Smells like an old box of raisins, wet cardboard maybe? Taste is just ok, but little to no agave, finish is decent with a weird after taste. This beer series have been really bad imo.
Good stuff here. Really nice nose of honey, baking spice and cooked agave sweetness. Palate has more of the same with a little mix of black pepper to mellow out the sweetness.
Complex, vanilla, honey, cooked agave, and baking spices linger as I sip this. The higher proof shines on this one
Nose: A noticeable yeasty funk leads things off, followed by plenty of cooked vegetal character. There’s a nice thread of minerality running through it all, with fresh lime adding just enough brightness to keep everything in balance. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a rounded mouthfeel. Sweet agave is front and center, backed by more vegetal notes and a healthy dose of black pepper. It’s direct and well composed without trying to do too much. Finish: Clean and lingering, leaving a pleasant peppery tingle alongside lasting agave sweetness. It fades naturally and invites another sip. Final Thoughts: This is my favorite unaged Lost Lore expression I’ve had to date. It doesn’t rely on complexity or novelty. It just executes the fundamentals extremely well. Straightforward, clean and delicious, with excellent agave character from start to finish.
