Finders Keepers
Beachcrest Brewing Company

Look: Burnt orange and clear with a sudsy, off-white head that settles to a film and leaves a ring of lacing behind

Aroma: Lemons, pink grapefruit, navel orange, crushed fir needles, freshly baked bread, and floral notes

Taste: Lemons and a lovely floral bouquet start things off with notes of sweet box, andromeda, and rose in play. Citrus joins in along with fir needles and these all dance across a malty base and deepen with an occasional punch of raw hop cones before closing with flowers, lemon, and a bite

Mouthfeel: Full, clean, medium-high carbonation, and clean on the finish with some dryness present

Overall: I dig it. This is a tasty and well-made WCIPA that honestly, drinks a lot to me like an IPA version of Sierra Nevada’s Pale Ale, which is trippy and cool, as I dig that beer a lot. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the Gleneden Beach area.

The beer is a mild IPA with a apple, apricot and melon flavor. If you like an IPA with a citrus flavor, you will like this beer. It’s a very well-made IPA but is nothing that special to me.
