Lost Coast Great White is a Belgian-style Witbier crafted by Lost Coast Brewery in Eureka, California. This unfiltered wheat beer, with an ABV of 4.8%, pours a hazy, translucent golden color with a fluffy white head, often accompanied by a slight cloudiness due to its unfiltered nature. Its appearance is inviting, with a pale straw to deep gold hue, sometimes showing sediment from deactivated yeast and wheat, which can be emulsified by gently tilting the bottle before pouring.

The aroma is a delightful blend of citrus, particularly orange and lemon, with a prominent note of coriander and a subtle hint of Humboldt herbs—a secret blend that adds an intriguing herbal and floral quality. This scent profile is complemented by a yeasty earthiness and a touch of bready wheat, making it refreshing and approachable. On the palate, Great White offers a full-bodied yet surprisingly light mouthfeel, balancing a slight sweetness with a crisp, thirst-quenching character. The citrus notes, including candied lemon peel and under-ripe clementine, shine through, while the coriander and herbs provide a mildly spicy, complex finish.

With a low IBU of 11-15, the beer avoids heavy bitterness, though it features a subtle hop presence, often described as floral with a Pacific Northwest influence, adding a unique twist to the traditional Witbier style. Great White is versatile for food pairings, complementing spicy dishes, grilled vegetables, chicken, or lighter fare like tomato and mozzarella salads. Its refreshing nature makes it ideal for summer sipping or post-surf sessions, earning praise as a smooth, nostalgic brew for both casual drinkers and beer enthusiasts.
