Seacoast

Tap to rate

Seacoast is a golden lager in the California pilsner tradition, hopped with Czech Saaz, German Hallertau and Cluster. Biscuit and fresh bread form the malt base under a soft sweetness, while the hops add grass, lemon and grapefruit peel alongside floral, lightly spicy and herbal notes. A faint orchard-fruit character appears mid-palate. The body is light and lively, and the finish stays clean with a lingering citrus tone rather than a sharp bitterness.
