Beer #2: Lost Gold
As I perused the HEB beer aisle, it dawned on me that finding quality beers is somewhat similar to treasure hunting; one has to embark on various quests to discover the gems and duds of beers. Sometimes, however, staying within the confines of familiarity is best because it ensures an experience that won’t stray too far into the unknown.
This week’s selection is yet another beer from the fine folks over at Real Ale Brewery, a company whose name will appear many times in this blog. “Lost Gold,” one of the many IPA’s offered by the brewery, boasts a hefty 6.6% ABV. Immediately, the zesty flavors of lemon and citrus bombarded my taste buds, leaving an aftertaste that was both fruity and refreshing. One of the beer’s defining characteristics is certainly its hoppiness, offering an invigorating option for those who like their beers with a kick.
While the beer itself is worth giving a chance, it is not one that I will be drinking regularly. Lost Gold is offered as part of a Real Ale Sample Pack with Devil’s Backbone and Fireman’s 4, two superior options when it comes to the breweries catalog. It is a great option for those who enjoy mixing and matching their drinks, so if you’re feeling a little lost in the beer aisle, give this beer a chance.
