Lost Coast Brewing 'Great White' Ale. 4.8% abv. Hazy golden color with a finger of white bubbly head. Good retention, moderate lace. Nose of earthy hops, wheat, bread, faint citrus. Front taste of sweet biscuit, light malt, hop bitter, coriander. Aftertaste of wheat grain, light sugar, spice on the sustain. Light-medium body. Mouthfeel is chewy, slightly sticky, bubbly.

This is a very good wheat beer. The aroma is hoppy with a touch of spice, followed by tastes of sweet breads and an aftertaste of fresh wheat. There are other wheats out there that stand taller than this beer, but it's still an excellent example of its category and worthy of your glass. Recommended.

From the brewery:

"A Crisp beer with a hint of citrus, made with two-row malted barley, unmalted wheat, a secret blend of Humboldt herbs, crystal clear mountain water and ale yeast."

"This light, citrus like beer is made with two-row malted barley, unsalted wheat, coriander, a secret blend of Humboldt herbs, crystal clear mountain water, and ale yeast. To serve, we suggest you pour all but the last two fingers of beer into your favorite glass. Swirl the remaining contents in a vigorous circular motion, chant the affirmation of your choice, then pour the delicious, nutrition yeast into your glass. Enjoy! Keep refrigerated, serve while fresh."

Dust Bowl Brewing 'The Great Impression' Stock Ale. 11.4% abv. 43 IBU. Black color. Thick bubbly beige head gradually falls to a reliable thick ring. Nose of roasted malt, bitter dark fruit, background hops. Front taste of roasted grain, bittersweet chocolate, faint earthy hops. Aftertaste of dark chocolate, prunes, sweet malt. Big body. Mouthfeel is hot, alcoholic, thick.

This is an outstanding beer, one that I've had the pleasure of enjoying on tap, growler, and bottles, and the flavor is memorable and instant each time. Seek it out if you tend to like strong beers with roasted, bitter flavor profiles that demand your attention. Highly recommended.

From the brewery:

"Winter seasonal. Stock ales are brewed at a higher gravity to hold up to extended aging. British hops take a back seat in this ale and provide subtle hop notes and just enough bitterness to support a malt showcase. While fresh, the beer presents with balancing bitterness, but is still dominated by the malt character. Over time, the bitterness subsides and new flavors are created during the aging process."
