Ze Content! ABV: 6.5%
Lost Coast Brewery is a fairly popular brewery in California, near the Humboldt area. More popularly known for its Downtown Brown and Great White ales; they do make plenty of other great brews. I do like a great I.P.A., and finding a good one can be difficult, I.P.A.’s tend to be more on the bitter side, with the amount of hops used, this also tends to increase the ABV just a bit. I’m sure I’ll be reviewing plenty of I.P.A.’s so for my first one, here we go.
This beer is a pours with a great amber golden haze color, and pours with fluffy head, with lots of lacing. Not as crisp for an I.P.A., however, great on the piney hop scent, with a slight sticky resin hop taste. A small bit of grape-fruity flavors give it a slight citrus sweetness, to help balance out the bitter hops. A bit of a creamy mouth-feel rather than the typical crisp I.P.A. taste, this actually is quite refreshing though not so traditional. All in all, a great any time I.P.A. great hop taste without the heavy bitter aftertaste.
Would I drink this beer again? Yea, this is a great I.P.A. if you want that hoppy flavor but aren’t looking for that buzz, that an I.P.A. tends to bring after a couple.
Overall Rating: B/B+
