Lost Coast - Great White Beer

Our next beer is from Eureka, California, and is Lost Coast Great White Beer purchased at Vintage Estates.


The labels from this brewery are always very colorful and fun. It has "light, unfiltered two-row malted barley, unmalted wheat, crystal clear mountain water, and ale yeast. It is spiced with coriander and a secret blend of Humboldt herbs that give it a delicate citrusy flavor." It si 5.0% ABV.

Overall average rating: 5.9/10

The beer pours a cloudy, straw yellow color with a white head. The aroma gives off essences of wheat, barley, a sweet hop citrus, lemon (a little Summer Shandy-ish), and some coriander. The taste is light with wheat and a slight hop linger. It has a mainly front tongue bite with a little side tongue linger. It also has a slight tart/sour lemon finish.

Shawn- You can taste a slight trace of coriander in the finish, and it is refreshing with unmuddled flavors, 6/10.
Angela- It is a sessionable summer beer; good for a hot day, 5.5/10.
Chris- It is something I would suggest to someone starting out on craft beer. I enjoy the style of it being more tart than sweet, 6.25/10.
