Very dry and assertively bitter.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Coastin'
◎ Appearance
Coastin' presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine white head that builds confidently and holds with good persistence. The carbonation is crisp and well-integrated, creating a lively column of tiny bubbles that maintains definition throughout the glass.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with bright tropical fruit notes—papaya and passion fruit dominate, followed by pink grapefruit acidity and a secondary mango sweetness. Subtle pine emerges in the background, grounding the fruity profile without overshadowing the hop-driven character.
◐ Taste
The palate delivers a clean, fruit-forward entry that mirrors the aroma's tropical character. Mid-palate bitterness is noticeable and well-defined at 60 IBUs, but remains restrained and does not overwhelm; the beer stays light and approachable on the tongue throughout.
◑ Finish
The finish is decisively dry with lingering citrus notes and a gentle hop bitterness that fades cleanly. No sticky residue remains; the aftertaste is refreshing and inviting for the next sip.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Coastin'
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
