Lost Coast Alleycat Amber Ale

Fairly good session Amber, and a good intro to the style. A little thin on the palate, but the malt, carmels, and hops come through in the flavor, with the malt taking the lead role. I liked that the label is a nod to the Garbage Pail Kids of the 80s, but that’s really my biggest compliment to this one. Tastes fine and is drinkable. Nothing wrong here.

The "amber ale" style is usually a pretty boring one, if the beer was more exciting it’d be a pale ale or some other style. However, this beer did not disappoint; I found it to be pretty interesting. It had a gold-amber color which was clear but not brilliant. Head was plentiful and laced. Aroma was hoppy with a bit of DMS (canned corn) aroma. Flavor was also hoppy with some maltiness anda noticeable amount of butteriness (diacetyl?). Mouthfeel was appropriate. All-in-all, pretty good. I would recommend this beer. I bought this bottle at 3 Cellars in Franklin, WI.

Copper pour with an off white head, i get mostly hops from the aroma, the flavor is more malts than hops but a nice balance between the two, this is a nice amber ale definitely one of the better ones i’ve had.

Bottle. 12 fl. oz. A dark amber color with light tan head. Nice lacing. Hoppy nose. Medium body with a fairly soft texture. Flavor is sweet caramel malt with a dry, hoppy end. Not bad, just pretty typical.

clear copper amber body w/off white frothy head. Aroma of caramel and sweet molasses(brown sugar). Taste was well balanced with roasted caramel malts and bitter finish. Decent amber session beer, easy drinking but a little watery.
