Tap to rate

Coastal Select captures the flavours of the modern West Coast in a single glass. Summer melon, fresh mango and light pine emerge with real energy, held in focus by a dry finish that cuts clean through the palate. At seven percent this West Coast IPA drinks with deceptive ease — enough body to carry the fruit, but restrained enough that the hops never overshadow the balance. A beer that feels both immediate and layered.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit—ripe mango and summer melon—layered beneath a restrained herbal pine character. Fresh citrus notes emerge on closer inspection, with a subtle mineral undertone that suggests clean water and balanced noble hop work. The aromatic profile feels energetic but never aggressive.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and medium-bodied, with melon and mango flavours building quickly across the mid-palate. Piney, herbal hop bitterness emerges with precision—moderate rather than assertive—and runs parallel to the fruit rather than overwhelming it. The malt foundation provides enough sweetness to anchor the composition without muddying the dry 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.
