Left Coast Trestle India Pale Ale
Left Coast Trestles India Pale Ale, Left Coast Brewing, San Clemente, CA. Alc. 6.8% ABV.
Hazed, amber-hued, bright white head.
Aroma: citrus and pine, orange and grapefruit, doin' the thing. Pithy, and pleasing.
Taste: Intense bitterness greets the tongue, hop flavors blaze the palate. Medium-bodied, plenty of malt, lots of ballast for the bitterness. I got this bomber for $3, seemed like a good deal for a big bottle of a beer I've never tried. So far, so good, it's a perfectly adequate IPA. Just right on, nothing special, though
Hey, what's it say on the back" "Trestles IPA is light bodied, clean, and pleasantly hoppy, with every sip this tasty india pale ale will take you back to your escape s, such as local surf spot Trestles. It's strong copper color and clean finish on the palate are created by brewing the IPA with 2-row malt and light imported crystal malt. We use CTZ and Chinook hops and follow it up with the addition of dry hops of Chinook and Centennial in the fermenter, bringing out a citrus aroma. Find your escape!"
