The Lost Abbey Libri Divini
Bière de Garde 7 º
Libri Divini presents an elegant evolution of the Saison, leaning into its farmhouse roots with a sophisticated wild ale character. This oak-aged offering leads with a bright, citrusy acidity reminiscent of fresh lemon zest, softened by a delicate undercurrent of aromatic vanilla. The fermentation profile is complex, blending classic peppery phenols and stone fruit esters with a rustic, earthy funk derived from its wild fermentation. Oak aging lends a structured tannic backbone and subtle woody depth, while the 7% ABV provides a gentle presence. It finishes exceptionally dry and effervescent, showcasing a masterful balance between tart fruitiness, spicy yeast, and a clean, grainy malt base.
Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange (7 SRM). Large, rocky, white head with excellent retention and thick Belgian lacing. Unfiltered with a slight, persistent haze and visible effervescence.
Aroma. High intensity with sharp lemon zest and tart citrus esters. The spicy yeast character offers prominent cracked black pepper, while vanilla provides a floral counterpoint. Moderate oak influence with hints of dry wood and a subtle earthy funk. Low, grainy malt remains in the background.
Taste. Initial impression is a bright, lemony acidity. The mid-palate reveals a soft, grainy malt character and a touch of vanilla flavor that provides perceived roundness without residual sweetness. Bitterness is moderate but amplified by the bone-dry finish and oak tannins. Aftertaste is lingering and spicy with citrus pith and a clean, wild tartness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with very high, prickly carbonation. Light warming alcohol presence. A slight tannic astringency from the oak aging contributes to the exceptionally dry, crisp mouthfeel.

We expect this one to age gracefully despite the modest ABV, though some of the subtler aspects from the lemon and vanilla might fall off. The combo of citrus tartness and vanilla has us looking to things like fresh burrata, roasted chicken, or grilled seafood.
