Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
In keeping with the “beer I drank while in San Antonio, TX”
theme here’s another gem from the Lonestar State.
Tonight’s featured beer is Real Ale Brewing Company Lost
Gold IPA.
From the Real Ale Brewing Company website:” Massive additions
of American hops in Lost Gold IPA provide the signature flavor of this Hill
Country favorite. German Vienna and English Crystal malts give our IPA its rich
golden-orange hue and subtle yet firm malt background. Lost Gold IPA is
available year round, so there is no need to hoard this treasured brew.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours a hazy gold color with orange hues with a
thin white head and slight lacing.
Aroma: Nice hop scent – citrus and pine. A faint malt aroma
in the back.
Taste: Floral, citrus and pine with a subtle malt balance. Flavor is approachable and not the hop bomb
that I typically drink which makes for a nice change of pace for me.
Overall: Real Ale Brewing Company's Lost
Gold IPA is a great beginners IPA for those approaching hops carefully and
gradually. That isn’t to say that I didn’t
enjoy this offering from Real Ale Brewing Company, I did and at 6.6% ABV it would
have been easy to have a few of these. I
would highly recommend this one!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
