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.

India Pale Ale brewed with nearly three pounds of hops per barrel and 15% malted rye. Dry, flavorful, drinkable beer with vibrant notes of citrus, tropical fruit and pine.

No bitterness at all; I bet this would make a nice beer in warmer weather though again, it doesn’t quite feel like 8%.
Traditional ingredients (no spices) and accordingly traditional, yet good taste.

It took a while but I finally joined the 101 beer club at BB Rover’s. This was #101, I probably should have order such a big bottle but the 101st beer is free!

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into the curved weisse glass from the gift pack. Attempted to do it traditional style, pretty much failed on that. (Will not be holding my poor pour against the score!) Appearance- After it settled down, excellent amount of head with lacing throughout. Hazy golden color, like a hefeweizen should have. Smell- Exactly what you should expect from the style. Lots of cloves and bananas. Pleasant, but not overpowering in any way. Taste- Again, bananas and cloves, a very full taste, but still very easy drinking. Mouthfeel- Exceptional! Despite the full taste, this in no way taxed my palate. As light on the tongue as a BMC lager, but with a taste that rivals any beer. Overall- Had to go the full monte on this one. In addition to the combination of drinkability and full flavor, you can taste history while drinking this beer. This is the hefeweizens all others are measured against, and for a good reason.

The beer pours a clear yellow color with a white head. The aroma is grassy hops with some bready malt. The flavor is hoppy, but the bread/toffee malt make the beer very well balanced. There is some grassyness in the flavor from the hops. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A nice, easy drinking balanced pilsner. Nothing too exciting, but a good beer to drink the hot months.
