Lost Coast Brewery: Raspberry Brown

I have become a big fan of Lost Coast Brewery and this time have picked up a bottle of Raspberry Brown to check out.

This is a really enjoyable brown. When you open the bottle and give it a sniff the first thing you notice is the raspberry scent...behind that there is almost a hint of a licorice smell.

The malt has a great creamy chocolate flavor and the finish is a complex sweet coffee/nutty taste. The raspberry that has been infused into this brew is not lost at all!
It is a great combination of classic tastes.

This American Brown Ale has an ABV of 6.5%.

I think this is a great beer and would appeal to a wide range of people. Though I would have to say that for me this is very much a desert beer or a beer for a special occasion - others may disagree. One thing that is for sure is that any beer lover should at least give this one a sample!

Lost Coast: Indica IPA!

Lost Coast Brewery has a very tasty brew with Indica IPA!

When I first opened the 22oz bottle there was an instant smell of fresh pine needles....at least that is what I picked up.
The taste is of a light malt and sweetness along with a very floral tasting softly hopped IPA. There is also a citrus...almost grapefruit taste.
The carbonation is very light...and balanced to the brew.

I am a little confused that the brewery webpage doesn't talk about this beer at all...that I could find....you would think they would talk this one up.

This is a VERY drinkable IPA and one that would be enjoyed by a hop lover and those still in the early days of IPA love!
The only stat I can give you is that is that it has an ABV of 6.9%
