Real Ale Lost Gold IPA:
Greetings and salutations my fellow beer drinkers and welcome back to another beer review for the masses!  Today let’s stick kind of close to home with a beer from that cool little brewery nestled in the Texas hill country, Real Ale, and their IPA: Lost Gold.  Not really sure why the beer carries a title that King Midas would love but I’m certain he’d love this beer.  The beer pours  nice hazy orange/yellow color with a thin white head of foam and a nose of mild hops with a bit of undercurrent of malts.  The beer’s taste is similar to most IPAs that are out there on the market with sour citrus and pine notes intertwining together though it’s back -end and aftertaste that are more mild than one would expect from a beer with this much flavor up front.  With the beer coming in at 6.6% ABV the beer isn’t too heavy so it’s enjoyable during our nice long and hot Texas summers (or our all too brief winters for that matter).  A great entry beer for those not familiar with the Real Ale line-up and it has enough flavor to satisfy most, if not all, experienced hop heads out there.
