Lost Forty Day Drinker

Tap to rate

Lost Forty's Belgian-style blonde ale — 4.8% ABV, soft biscuit malt, gentle Belgian yeast pear-and-honey character, restrained hop bitterness. Named for its intended use case. Below-average alcohol for the style keeps this genuinely sessionable — where most Belgian blondes push 7-8% ABV, Day Drinker stays low on purpose.

AI-generated sensory profile for Lost Forty Day Drinker

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation that sustains a delicate white head with modest lacing. The light body is apparent from the outset, with a clean, bright presentation typical of the style but refreshingly restrained in alcohol.

◌ Aroma

Soft biscuit and bread crust lead the nose, underscored by gentle fruity esters — pear and orchard fruit — alongside a whisper of honey and floral notes from the Belgian yeast. Noble hop character is restrained but present, contributing a subtle herbal and slightly spicy backdrop without asserting itself.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshingly dry, with light malt sweetness balanced by a restrained 22 IBU bitterness that never dominates. Mid-palate shows bready, yeasty character with honey notes and a smooth mouthfeel; the low 4.8% ABV keeps the beer genuinely approachable and drinkable without the heaviness typical of Belgian blondes at 7–8% ABV.

Finish is short to medium, dry and crisp, with a lingering honey and malt sweetness that fades gracefully. The low alcohol and restrained hop character leave no hot notes, making this genuinely sessionable.

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
