Coastbuster started as a Side Trail beer that was so well-liked we had to add it to the Year Round lineup. Inspired by the gloriously effervescent qualities of hop varieties common to West Coast style Imperial IPAs, Coastbuster displays the best of what these hops have to offer: their tropical, fruity, and floral aromas and flavors. With a light malt character and a dry finish, this is a beer designed to let the most succulent aspects of Simcoe, Amarillo, Columbus, and Cascade shine through while keeping the bitterness in balance.

(Can, 0.473 l, at Sori Taproom, thanks tiong and VastActiv, 20190921) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had pine, grass and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were pine, resin, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, resin and bitter. A rather nice hoppy brew with bit too much booziness.

Burk dipa jämförelse 4 st olika krokius. Guldfärgad relativt klar dryck. Doftar dovft tungt lite kattpiss. I munnen känns omedelbart fylliga smaker av persika, banan samt tydligt päron. Finns apelsin eftersmaken . Perfekt beska och relativt lång eftersmak mestadels av apelsin. Åhhhh äntligen en kvalitets öl efter druckit flera trissta svenska med tyvär totalt misslyckad brewski dipa. Tipps är köra jämförelse olika dipa för känna äkta kvalitets skillnader. Detta en välbalanserad Jättegod klassisk weast coast dipa.

I Draught /I Good dense & fine, light yellowish head over very mildly carbonated, clear metallic orange beer; rings of lace. Bit cookie malts, toasted, faint aromatic hopss; fruity, faintly piney... demure. Sharp toasted, burning flavour. Precious little citrus here, a bit pine/resin. Raw alcohol impression in the aftertaste. As said, burning, hence feeling better carbonated than it looks; quite slick, ot really heavily bodied. OK - nothing more. Somehow a bit lame for a double IPA, IMO.
