Redwood Coast

Tap to rate

Redwood Coast is a West Coast IPA released in October 2024 and hopped with Citra, Chinook and Strata. The brewery sums it up as grapefruit, piney and dank: grapefruit citrus comes first, followed by resinous pine and the heavier, herbal hop note that the term dank describes. Among the brewery's canned beers it sits a step above the session-strength Leith Juice, with a hop profile built on resin and citrus rather than tropical fruit.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Redwood Coast

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and lively carbonation. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing, characteristic of a well-balanced West Coast IPA.

pale goldcleartight head retention

◌ Aroma

Grapefruit citrus dominates the nose, fresh and bright on the attack. Below that lies a resinous pine character with subtle herbal undertones—the dank quality emerges as a deeper, earthier layer that anchors the hop profile without overwhelming the citrus.

◐ Taste

Grapefruit citrus leads the palate with crisp acidity, transitioning into a pronounced resinous pine bitterness mid-palate. The malt backbone remains restrained, allowing the herbal, dank hop character to settle into a drying, slightly woody finish. Moderate bitterness integrates cleanly without harsh edges.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with lingering resinous pine and herbal notes. The aftertaste remains clean and dry, with a subtle grapefruit echo that fades gradually.

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.
