A Beer With No Name

Tap to rate

Stone fruit, grapefruit and tangerine make up the flavour of this American IPA, which goes by the disarmingly plain name A Beer With No Name. It lands at 7.2% ABV and has been pouring at The Lost Abbey's own tasting rooms through 2026. Belgian-inspired beers dominate the portfolio of this Vista brewery, yet hoppy beers like this one sit in the range too.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and bright, with citrus fruit flavors immediately apparent across the palate. The mid-palate develops peach and orange notes with measured hop bitterness—neither overwhelming nor understated—while a light, clean malt sweetness provides structure. Bitterness resolves into a dry, refreshing finish without astringency.
