Pours with a nice off white head on top of a murky copper. There is a suspension of sediment throughout this beer. It is cloudy, but more like pouring some dirt in the glass. Not the prettiest looking beer.

The smell is utterly hoppy. Grapefruit and pine all the way, with more than a hint at the bitterness to come. This has a really strong aroma, I can smell it from about two feet away. Dig it!

On the first sip it pimp slaps you with bitterness. Straight up, in your face, the bitterness hits. It is juicy with definitely grapefruit and pine, just like the smell. The bitterness lingers long after the beer has been set down. Not at the IIPA level, but this is a pumped up IPA. Seriously, this bitterness really lingers a while.

The mouthfeel is a little chewy, a little slick and very smooth. Drinkable to the max, but don't expect your taste buds to notice subtley after a couple of these.

Picked up a sixer after all the Ganesh controversy. There entire line up is pretty good, this is no exception. A decent IPA, but for a northwest IPA, it doesn't meet the extremely stiff competition.

1/30/22 - deep amber, slight hazy, thin with head recedes to ca cap with lacy edges ; flavor is okay, dominated by mouthfeel; Good tangy feel; not bad, not a favorite, but certainly as good as most IPAs, exceptional mouthfeel.

I’m at an Italian restaurant and the NL Wild Card game is on. Dodgers look like shit and my first drink was a $7 Corona. Either way, here I am with this beer now and the Goo Goo Dolls are playing. How do you think I feel?

This one is an average non descript "American IPA" - it's not east, west or anything in the middle just American. Very little aroma hops on this one, smells a bit dank, malty with a little pine just for fun. Taste is malty with a slight hop bitterness on the finish, no citrus just herbal pine hops - reminds me of a Long Hammer IPA or maybe a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. This might be better on tap but regardless no love lost on this Lost Coast offering.

Drinking this in a tap room, The Goat Island Bottle Shop in Rocky Mount NC.
On tap, poured into a clear plastic cup.
Appears amber with a nice head that and lacing.
Smells piney, citrusy, bready.
Taste follows the nose, more citrusy than piney
Mouth feel is medium+ for the style, helping to balance the hops.
Good West Coast IPA that I would definitely order again.

My second one from Lost Coast but the fist one that I ever wanted to try from them.
A West Coast IPA, I love its hop flavor, dank and piney maybe is the right word. I loved its aroma and that the taste is almost to the same extent intensive. The feel is somewhat behind the former, making it feel slightly lighter than how it tastes but still is a great beer. I could get used to drinking such beers every day as standard.
“Find your happy place” it says, well, this is somewhere near there.
