Lost Coast Alleycat Amber Ale

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

nutty maltiness on the nose. amber pour (Imagine that) with a fair amout of off white head. Sweet raisins and plums with maltiness. Very good mouthfeel. nice palate.

Definitely honey in this brew. Maybe some strawberry’s or peach’s, something sweet that I can’t put my finger on. I enjoyed this brew. Not the best head, but a nice color, good color and a refreshing albeit sweet taste.

nice, smooth beer but a bit weak. very enjoyable beer

This is a solid, crystal-clear amber ale with a lumpy off-white head. The aroma is of piney hops, malt, biscuits and hay. The flavor is of medicinal, complicated hops, sweet, smooth malt. It’s dry, almost sour and well-bittered. Nice West Coast Amber!

Nice honey color wiith a small off-white head; pleasantly sweet with hints of fruit and honey and a nice bitterness in the finish - I agree with Gromit - very complex taste for this style

Rich amber color with a medium sized offwhite head. Smell is of light sweet malt, and some hops slowly show as it warms up. Taste is nice and sweet and malty, with creamy flavors of caramel with a faint hop bitterness that grows a bit. I really like this amber and wish I could get it here. Just what I want an amber to be.

This is really nice and tasty. It’s a fairly deep amber, very bubbly, with a medium light tan, bubbly head that steadily dissipates to a thinlasting top and leaves a little lace. The aroma is slightly earthy, caramelly malt with grain, bread, citrus (grapefruit plus others), and a hint of pine. The taste is earthy, caramel, citrus with a light grapefruit dominance, grain, spices, pine, and herbs, plus a noticeable alcoholic quality but one that is smooth and adds to the enjoyment. It has good body and well-rounded flavours with pretty good complexity. It has noticeable qualities of a German pilsner added to the usual "amber ale" elements, American ale quality, and even a hint of English bitter. It’s really very good.

This copper colored ale poured from the bottle with a frothy head and a strong malt nose and a milder hint of hops in the background. I thought this amber ale had a nice malty taste, with a slight hoppiness in the finish. The malt was more prominant than the hops, but that is to be expected with an amber ale. This was a nice smooth drinking, sweet malty ale that I would buy again to go with my steak dinner.
