3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 DocLock (6826) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 2, 2005Pours dark straw with medium off-white head. Aroma of floral hops, fruit. Tastes very hoppy, with a firm malt backbone, and some fruit. Decent balance and good complexity. Finishes more like an IPA than an APA.

Lovely orange-amber pour. The nose is bright and hoppy with a touch of orange. Soft bitterness and a little bit of light pine. Light pale malt. Good balance and a pretty nice APA

Pint at brewery. Light hoppy aroma and beautiful copper color. The palate was rough and the taste was not great. I will not order this beer again.

2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 SFtaster (44) - San Francisco, California, USA - MAR 31, 2010
Poured from a bomber purchased @BevMo in SF. The price was marked down, so they wanted to move this product. Pours nicely with good color and head as mentioned by other reviewers. A decent example of the style, but not in the top half of my list. I visited the Lost Coast pub in Eureka several years ago and I look forward to trying this and other brews at the source in the near future. Nice Humbolt artwork on the label.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Strykzone (3866) - Wood River, Illinois, USA - DEC 11, 2009
Thanks Hayduke! This beer pours a hazy golden hue with an uneven fluffy white head that has excellent retention. There isn’t a big aroma but it is grainy. Hops lead the flavor with grapefruit along with honey and sweeter passion fruit. Honey and pepper can be tasted. As the beer warms the hops are more pronounced in the aroma enhancing their impact on the flavor. Grass is also in the finish. A nice and well balanced beer.

Tap @ Lost Coast. Pours golden, almost lager looking. Light aroma of lemony malts and light citrus. Flavor is fairly malty all the way through the thinner body, Chinook creeps through a bit before ending if somewhat of a watery finish. Not the best, but not a pour out.
