Tap to rate

Fruity tones greet you first, followed by a hop aroma that dominates the nose and a very pronounced hop bitterness that follows. Lost Chance is the brewery's own India Pale Ale, listed in the standard range at 14° Plato, and the brewery calls its taste stormy.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinct fruity notes that give way immediately to a prominent hop aroma. Noble and citrus-forward hop character dominates, with resinous undertones that signal the assertive bittering design. Subtle malt sweetness provides a balancing backdrop without obscuring the hop presence.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright fruity tones before a pronounced hop bitterness takes hold and builds through the mid-palate. Resinous and piney hop compounds layer atop a clean malt body, while citrus notes weave throughout. The finish remains dry and crisp, with lingering bitterness that feels intentional rather than sharp.

◑ Finish

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
