Sweeping Coast

Tap to rate

Sweeping Coast is a West Coast-style pale ale, brewed at the farm since 2020 and released seasonally. Mosaic, Azacca and Simcoe are used in the dry hop and give a bright, fresh hop character with a clear resinous edge; citrus and a hint of tropical fruit sit behind it. Extra pale and wheat malt stay out of the way, the palate is clean and dry, and the finish is brisk and resinous.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and resinous hop character from the Mosaic, Azacca, and Simcoe dry hop blend. Beneath the immediate hop aromatics sits a subtle tropical fruit note—stone fruit and distant pineapple—while the pale and wheat malts remain appropriately restrained, offering only a clean, grainy backdrop.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with moderate bitterness that builds gradually across the palate without overwhelming. The malt bill provides a light, dry foundation that allows the hop resins and citrus notes to remain prominent throughout. Mid-palate stays lean and focused, maintaining excellent balance between hop character and restraint.
