Lost Abbey Veritas 015

Same first thought, hoping the bottles have a bit more carb but either way time will help. Flavor is killer though

Santo Ron is a Rum Monster, picked up 3. Are they going to hit distro?

 

Veritas is amazing. Glad they give you a taster of it. A little under carbed IMO too. Santo Ron Diego is way too much rum. Needs a little more malt. Maybe it will calm down with some age. Can't wait to pop a Veritas in the near future. Prob drink it side by side with the 013 too since they have similar fruits.

 

Veritas was very flat on draft but still tasted good. Nothing mind blowing on tap and the santo was a boozy mess to me. Track 8 was quite good.

 

Yep, the draft was vastly undercarbed, but hey... That's Flat Abbey for ya!

 

Santo was a rummy mess IMO.... at 8am Veritas was like a perfect breakfast drink haha

 

Palo Ron was indeed a bit of a boozy mess. Couldnt finish my pour. Personally, not a rum fan though.

However, I thought V015 was great, even undercarbed. Fruit really shined. Especially compared to its V013 relative.

Additionally, and... Of course, take this with a ginormous grain of salt, but the staffer I spoke to said the bottles they had sampled a week ago were fully carbed. If thats the case, this beer will be a killer. Can only hope thats true.

 

Here before 8, no line, checked us in and gave us our bottles early. On top of that, some nice guy gave us his taster ticket since he had to take off before tasting room opened. And grillfellas is setting up with breakfast. Aside from the time change, great day thus far

 

Like was non-existant yesterday at 1PM. Good luck!

 

Longer line to grab some eggs than veritas right now. A whole 1 person in line for eggs.i might do Sunday pickups from now on

 

I got there around 1:30 yesterday. Zero line for sign-in, 30-second line for pours, zero line for bottle pick-up. Piece of cake. Just like it was a cakewalk to buy the bottles online.

Kinda can't believe it's 2015 and Lost Abbey still serves flat kegs. It's like they're just messing with us now. Anyone know if the Veritas pours were more carbonated today given the extra time?

That said, the Veritas tasted and smelled fantastic, and untappd check-ins seem to indicate the bottles are carbonated. If they're flat, I've still got my Carbonator Cap set up from using it for the BA Monsters Park bottles, so it won't be that big a deal...

 

Na little to no carb today on keg

 

I came up big time today. Found someone at lost Abbey willing to trade a melange 10 for a veritas. Needless to say I'm one happy camper.

 

What bottle count was there for V15? Did they actually say it anywhere? The highest number one of my bottles is 2142. Can anyone beat that?

 

2343

 

Got bottle #1 and #3. I'll assume i can trade them for KBBS+ since its #1

 

Nah you can trade it for some super rar Vanilla Rye but you'll have to add.

 

will probably have to add a Prop for that V.Rye.rar

 

Thats actually kind of cool in my eyes. Would be an empty for the wall in my bar for sure.

 

I've been seeing posts that bottles are carbed properly. If anyone pops one please post your experience.

To me, the flavors on V015 could stand up with the likes of chez monus and Fou but the overall product was hindered by low carb on draft for the taster. If the bottles are on point I'll be a very happy camper.

 

Yeah it is pretty badass. The bottle will sit aside the likes of the DDG and friends
