Green Coast Crisp

Stone & Wood Brewing Co.
Australia·Mid-Strength Lager
Tap to rate

Green Coast Crisp was introduced in 2021 as a lighter version of Green Coast Lager and later given its own name. It is brewed with pale Australian malts and Saaz hops and pours light golden. The hop character is delicate and lightly fruity with a herbal edge, the malt mild and grainy. Bitterness is subtle and the finish very crisp and clean. The brewery itself describes it as a beer without a dominant hop, malt or yeast note. It is poured mainly on tap.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft malt sweetness and a grainy character that carries through the mid-palate without heaviness. Saaz hop bitterness emerges gradually as a subtle, herbal counterpoint, never sharp or assertive. The beer drinks light and dry, with excellent balance between the restrained malt and gentle hop presence.
