Lost Coast Brewery Hazy IPA – American IPA at 6.7% ABV | 38 IBU (C$3.32 at Liquorville Legacy, 355 ml, packaged on 22-Jun-2021, acquired 4-Aug-2021, reviewed 7-Aug-2021)
Appearance: hazy straw with one fat finger of pillowy white head, good retention and well-defined droopy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: juicy citrus, tropical fruit, pale malt and cereal grains, herbal. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Smooth medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry short duration medium bitter finish. (4/5)
The label specifies Mosaic and Citra, with oats in the malt bill, and the aroma and flavour are pretty much exactly what you’d expect from that. Juicy citrus and tropical fruit lead the way over a clean malt with cereal grains, and just a hint of herbal in the back end. The body is smooth and medium weight, with appropriate carbonation and a short medium bitter finish that makes it easy to drink and more-ish. No complaints here. (16/20)
