Lost Coast Alleycat Amber Ale

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

Poured dark copper and mostly clear with a short white head and decent lacing. The aroma was bright citrus and sweet malts. The flavor was fruity, dominated by citrus hops and fairly well balanced with some bready malts. Thin mouthfeel but the carbonation isn’t overly aggressive. Sessionable.

Poured orange amber, caramel malts, nutty, citrus hops, little dark fruits.

12oz bottle. Pours a lightly hazed, particulate filled, orange-amber colored body with a finger-widtch, creamy, tan head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is a moderately sweet, caramel malt with a light to moderate amount of flowery, sweet citrus. Some lightly toasted nuts and dried fruit sweetness as well. Flavor is a moderately sweet, caramel maltiness with a moderate citrus, flowery hop, and some toasted nuts. Finishes with a smooth, nutty maltiness with a lemon peel citrus aftertaste that lingers for a moderate duration. Light to medium bodied and very smooth. Overall, a smooth, semi-nutty sweet malty amber with a slightly above average citrusy bitterness. Tasty and very drinkable. Not bad at all.

Not really an amber fan, but this is a half-decent example of the style. Fairly malty, with caramel flavour. Body is creamy and goes down fairly easily.

Not my favorite type of ale, but this Amber Ale is rather good and enjoyable. You can definitely taste the caramel malt over any other type of malt used, it’s decently carbonated and a good example for the style.

Pours a nice dark amber color with an off white/tan head. Smells of malts and not much hops. Taste is malty and decent. An average amber to me.

Pours a reddish brown with white head. The head is mostly diminishing with excellent lacing. The aroma is kinda sweet, butterscotch, toffee. The taste is light, the body creamy, a little grain/bread taste.
