Coastal Evacuation

◎ Appearance

Bright orange-gold body with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. A generous, persistent white head forms and clings to the glass with good lacing, maintaining presence throughout the session. The pour is clean and inviting, characteristic of a well-crafted Double IPA.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with assertive West Coast hop character—prominent grapefruit pith and lime zest from Simcoe and Amarillo combine with subtle pine and herbal notes from Centennial. Underneath, a light breadiness from the Malz foundation provides ballast without obscuring the hop-forward profile. The resinous quality is immediately apparent and engaging.

◐ Taste

Entry is bold and citrus-driven, with tropical fruit—passion fruit and tangerine—emerging mid-palate alongside dry, sticky resin. The bitterness builds steadily but remains integrated rather than harsh, supported by a modest Malz sweetness that keeps the beer balanced. Finish is decidedly dry and clean, with lingering grapefruit and herbal edge.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is long and focused, with grapefruit pith and a gentle pine bite persisting well after swallow. Dryness dominates, inviting immediate return for another pour.
