New Old Lompoc C-Note

Brewed by New Old Lompoc Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Portland, Oregon USA

Slightly murky orange and brown. Very well balanced. Toasty red ale malts, cherry and sweet malt sugars. some smooth, almost chewy tinny malts, and some orange and wheat flavor. Very nice.

The best companion to the nachos. The C-note name points to the 100-IBUs of bitterness. It takes a big beer to stand up to a jalapeno-laden chip and C-note came through. Wonderfully.

courtesy of unclejedi, New Year party in AL. pours orange, off-white head aroma and flavor, pine hops dominate this one followed by some citrus, grapefruit elements. Light notes of malts come add a little variety here and ends on a nice grassy hops touch.

on tap at uber tavern for nye celebration. heavy bitter aroma, flavor is somewhat flat. pour comes with lots of lacing.

old note 11/1 @ Redbones during Northwest Fest. Good aroma, sweet, soft, subtle. Orange citrus mainly, hazedreddish orange color, good head, and lace. Bitter sweet flavor, grapefruit, caramel. Thick body, creamy mouthfeel, bitter dry finish. Good, though not a standout in the aroma or flavor, had many others like it. Looked great too.

Amber pour with a thick white head. The nose is really lovely. Heavy, spicy hops with a fairly tropical character as well. Earthy and spicy with a kiss of light resinousness. Grapefruit and orange peel with a touch of pine. It’s kind of unusual how there are so many distinct hop characteristics in here. There is a touch of lightly minerally/musky flavour on the back of the pine and fruit that I really enjoy. Lovely integration of malts and hops toward the finish. Soft pine and a bit of light caramel/crackery malts. Quite fresh and tasty. I can’t say there is really anything particularly unique about it, but something about it just hits for me.

Bottle courtesy of Darryl. Pours a deep amber orange. Caramel malt & Piney hops aroma. Taste was medium hopped, well balanced, a tad too malty perhaps. Tasty & easy drinking

22oz. Bottle: Weak aroma of hops, citrus, light grapefruit, slight grass, and a hint of caramel. Poured very deep amber/very deep orange in color with a small, creamy, tan head that diminished but lasted throughout as a rocky film on top of the beer. Very hazy. Sparkling. Good to very good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and medium bitter. Tastes of hops, pine, resin, slight lychee, light caramel, slight toasting, slight citrus, and a hint of grapefruit. Medium body. Oily, then dry texture. Average carbonation. Hoppy, resinous, pine, and light caramel malt finish is dry.
