Lost Coast Alleycat Amber Ale

Brewed by Lost Coast Brewery & Cafe
Style: Amber Ale
Eureka, California USA

Nice, fruity aroma. Clean taste, no aftertaste. One word description would be: Smooth. Very good.

Pours a bronze-amber color with a thin off-white head which had some staying power. The aroma is citrusy, floral, and slightly malty but rather subtle and fresh. The flavor consists of sweet malt, some tropical fruit, and just enough of a hop presence to keep this interesting. It finishes with a roasty character. Mouthfeel is a shade thin. Not all that complex but neither is the style and really this is pretty solid. I’ve only had a few beers from Lost Coast so far but they’ve all been solid as well. Good session beer here.

Tap at The Yardhouse in Palm Beach. Amber(surprise!) pour with a little tan head. Aroma is a tad nutty and malty. No hops on the nose to speak of. Flavor is a bit watered down and bland. Some malt and light nuts can be detected. Nothing spectacular here.

Bland watery mouth-feel. Light hop presence here. Crisp finish. Refreshing

Meh. Decent amber, much better out there for the money. Some hops in there, strange feel going down. Overall? Lacks character, not bad, but not that good. OK.

12 oz bottle. Pours amber with nice white head. Aroma is hops, citurs and caramal malt. Flavor is hops and citrus with nice roasted and caramel malts. Pretty good amber. Would but again.

Tasted @ the Loast Coast Brewery in Eureka.
Amber/copper colored brew. Nice session amber ale.

Nice amber body with a beige head that leaves a decent amount of lacing. Sweet aroma of caramel, brown sugar, and malt with just a touch of hoppiness. A bit thin on the palate and slightly oily. The flavor fairly mimics the aroma. Sweet and smooth. Caramel and corn. There’s a hint of citric hops in the back that doesn’t quite make an appearance. A very drinkable beer that doesn’t have a lot of personality.
