| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Short 12oz twist-off bottle. reddish amber color, light tan head. A good bit of chunks floating around in it. Aroma of sugary cotton candy and citrus rind. Nice resin scent along with a bit of toasted malt flavor. Finishes with a sharp hop bitterness. Typical / standard West Coast IPA. Lots of hops. obguthr (1015), Poquoson, Virginia, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Doughy grapefruit nose, ringed with fresh oranges. Copper/ochre with many floaties, thin white head, decent lacing. The flavor is more grapefruit with more of the peel than the flesh and oranges, a little tinny. Bitter grapefruit peel finish. I’m not real crazy about this one. tennisjoel (940), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 3, 2009 Purchased at Lee’s Discount Liquor in Las Vegas. Pours orange with a white head. Piney, citrusy, and slightly bitter. Malts are caramel and bread. Very good beer and one I’d purchase regularly if it was available locally. hopheaven (83), Eureka, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 30, 2009 Everything you’d expect of an American IPA. Piney west coast hops, certainly of the C variety, pungent, resiny, candy-like and fragrant. The body is wonderfully balanced, comfortably higher abv without much residual sweetness, but this begs to be a bigger beer in my opinion. Not much going on by way of malts, just some crystal, giving the beer a sunset red tint. A spot-on example of the style for the uninitiated but it’s only personality, like so many American IPAs, lies in the label. Itzjerm (70), Harvest, Alabama, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 26, 2009 Nice beer. An IPA without the horrible bite. Nice smooth, for an ipa. Nice head. Enjoyable. Would get it again. Good novice IPA. Not a good beginner IPA. patricks110 (282), Alberta, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 17, 2009 Holy cow. Incredible beer. I had never tried anything from Lost Coast. Picked up a six pack at a liquor store in Calgary. Incredible beer. Aroma is hoppy, citrus, fruit and hints of spices. Taste is hops and nice citrus bitterness to finish. Golden orange pour with a medium sized head and decent lacing. Taste sticks to the palate and reminds you of how good the beer is. Mmmmmmm....... travita (1908), Frisco, Texas, USA
