Indica - Lost Coast Brewing

The last beer in the beer basket will be an India Pale ale from Lost Coast Brewing. Since this is my favorite beer style I have high expectations on this one. The last one in the basket.

APPEARANCE: (5) Dark golden brown. Thick, thick foam that is dense and last a long time.

AROMA: (5) Wonderful flowery piny hops aroma that hits your nose like a tornado. I cannot find this beer on the brewery's website so I have to guess that it is Cascade and or Amarillo

TASTE: (5) Citrus fruitiness in the hops aroma which is very, very pleasant. The bitterness is well balances with the malt giving the hops the domination in this beer, exactly how I like it best.

EXTRA: (3) Despite that this is a really good beer, there is not that much extra to add besides a medium 3.



Lost Coast Breweings Website

Beer style: India Pale Ale
Serving temperature: 8-10 C
Alcohol: 6.5%

Food Pairings: Good IPA:s are tricky to pair with food I think since they are so flavor dominant. They are also high in alcohol which makes them not suitable as session beer.

There is nothing that beats a good IPA. The flowery aroma and the wonderful aromatic bitterness is the King of beers. This was a worthy beer to end the beer basket with.

APPEARANCE: 5 x 5 = 25
AROMA: 5 x 10 = 50
TASTE: 5 x 10 = 50
EXTRA: 3 x 1 = 3

Total: 128/130
