Lost Coast Alley Cat

The Alley Cat amber ale by Lost Coast is a littler refreshing amber ale with a subtle hoppy finish. I feel that the malts are somewhat lost amongst the citrus notes that rush forward. Overall I would have to say that it is a good drinking ale, but nothing incredibly special. There is a lingering oiliness that follows, so I would likely pair it with foods higher in acidity, avoiding those such as hamburgers or other high fat foods.

Overall review: 3 out of 5
