IPA
Lost Coast Brewery and Cafe

 

This is an "unfiltered" IPA, but it looks pretty clear to me. It is a good example of a West Cost IPA in that it has bitterness but not harshness. The hops are a bit subdued compared to a NEIPA and the hops bill is more simplified. Not a bad beer.

 

Tap pour at the taproom. Chilled pint glass.
Clear, pale gold colored body. White head. Leaves behind a film-like lacing.
Floral and fruity aroma.
Taste is floral perfume, with peach and citrus orange and lemon.
Medium mouth feel. Dry finish. Has a bit of sweetness, with a brief tongue bite.
Flowery IPA. Good use of the hops.

I tried lost coast IPA out of a can it was really good looked real light and crisp and of course had a nice delightful happy flavor

 

 

Six pack of cans. Poured into a pint glass. Can says unfiltered but the beer is very clear. Nice aroma with fruit notes. Well balanced malt presence. Crisp clean finish. A very drinkable IPA.

Clear gold with two fingers of white head. Swathes of lace appear as the head recedes.
Smell is floral hops with bready malts.
Taste is bitter up front with bready malt support. Herbal hops.
Mouthfeel is light to medium with plenty of carbonation. Finish is mildly dry and balanced.
Overall a decent West Coast IPA.

12oz can served in a nonic glass, canned on 06/15/2020.

Look- Slightly hazy golden straw color. Nice bright white head that recedes slowly to a solid cap of foam, decent lacing. Moderate carbonation streams visible.

Smell- Citrus (grapefruit, orange and lemon), some pineapple and light stone fruit, bready malt, hints of pine and floral/herbal notes.

Taste- Similar to the aroma. Citrus and pineapple, hints of peach, bready malt and light pine, slight lingering hoppy bitter finish. Nicely balanced.

Feel- Light side of medium bodied, dryish and pretty crisp. Medium carbonation on the tongue.

O- A pretty solid west coast style IPA. Nothing fancy but very quaffable. At $12 a 12 pack, it has an excellent price point too.

A decent IPA but with a little off aftertaste for my liking. It is light in color and rather generic, nothing too memorable about this beer really. Can't advise it, I probably won't buy this again. Not bad, but not good either.

Poured from a can -light gold honey color,not quite clear with short white head leaving a bit of frosty lacing. This might be the most generic IPA I've ever tasted. That is by no means a diss. Looks good , smells ok . tastes fine. No complaints but on the other hand no compliments either.

 

Straightforward name in a straightforward package- “IPA” in 12oz cans. The color was bit light, but the flavor was full. Lacked distinctiveness to set it apart from other IPAs, including some from Lost Coast (Revenant, anyone?).
