Coastin'

Pizza Port Brewing Company
Tap to rate
🌍 United States · IPA · One of 108 IPAs in hopIQ

Coastin' joined Pizza Port's year-round range in 2025 as a lighter, fruit-led IPA. Mosaic in two forms, Krush, Simcoe, Riwaka, Citra and Crystal are layered over a pale malt base. The aroma leans to papaya, passion fruit and pink grapefruit, with mango and a touch of pine behind it. Bitterness is noticeable but kept moderate, so the beer stays light on the palate and finishes dry.

◌ 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.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Coastin'

Serve at 8–11°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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.
