Beers similar to Westcoast

Hvide Sande Bryghus

Amber Ale·Denmark·5% ABV·One of 203 Amber Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Westcoast's malty and bitter character. A fresh and complex pale/red ale in which the sweetness of rosehip and marram grass, gently picked in the dunes by the North Sea, meets the bitterness of the hops. Specially roasted malt and rosehip skins give the beer a handsome orange to golden-red colour. Westcoast is a tribute to the beautiful and at the same time rugged Jutland west coast. The brewmaster, born and raised in Hvide Sande, wanted a beer with local ingredients, and the ship on the label once belonged to his father.
