Lost Coast Raspberry Brown

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

On tap @ Cato’s in Oakland (late Dec. 2007). Pours clear brown with fairly weak head. The aroma was full of sweet raspberry fruitiness that seemed too sweet smelling to be actual fruit but likely syrup. The taste mildly supported the raspberry syrupiness noted in the nose but the flesh of the raspberry seems noticeable here too. There was also a mild malt roastiness hidden behind the fruit.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown almost black with a carbonated bubbly appearance, the head was a off white to tan color, and medium cream constance. Aroma is a light raspberry with soft chocolate tones. The taste is malty and some chocolate with a raspberry hints. This was a pretty balanced fruit beer.

A dark mahogany colored beer with a small, two fingered light beige sudsy head rising briefly above. There's not much lacing left. Raspberries are in the nose. Raspberries in a nutty-malt base are the tasting. Light medium bodied. Okay.

Raspberry is there for sure, balanced sweetness to bitterness, slightly tart. Easy drinking, medium bodied, slightly syrupy aftertaste in the mouth. Hint of brown toast and other brown ale type flavours including biscuit. Quite a reasonable spring/summer beer.

I'm drinking this right now at their brewpub. Dark brown color with nice lacing. Fairly lift medium body, and not quite like a brown as I expected. Really nice thing is that the raspberry is super fresh in scent and flavor. Exactly like eating one, unlike some of the oversweetened syrupy tasting fruit beers you get.

Lost Coast Raspberry Brown is something different. The first thing that hits you when you pop open a bottle of this brew is a pronounced aroma ripe berries. The liquid pours deep brown, moderate head. Flavor is sweetish, hints of hops, with berry hints that are not overwhelming. An interesting brew to hit once in a while when your passing through the local quickie mart and are looking for something different

I figured this would be an interesting combination, a fruit infused brown ale. The beer pours a clear brown colour with reddish hues. The aroma is nutty malt and raspberries. The flavour is still nutty malt and raspberries, with a slight bitter finish.

This one starts out great. Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights and a small tan head. Aroma is very delightful--raspberries, sweet roasted malts, and a bit of chocolate. There was something about the taste though that didn't sit well with me. Perhaps the raspberry flavor was too artificial. Would probably go great with some vanilla ice cream.

being that this is a pretty nice, nutty brown underneath the raspberries, this is a pretty enjoyable beer. One to get light beer drinkers to switch to the dark side.

Brown cola body complete with a long lasting tan cap. Very sour aroma with raberry notes, whole thing comes across kind of soapy. Nope its not soap its baby powder and perfume. Sent is strong and fake. Flavour is better than the aroma nice and malty with fresh raspberries. Bitter finish with coffee lingering in the aftertaste. These raspberries seem so fresh. Great tasting brew but it smells so bad. Very complex I can only describe half of what I’m tasting.
