This beer is medium in body. We use English hops to give it a punchy bitterness upfront. Smooth and sessionable, Suncoast is easy-drinking, suits summer as well as winter and in short; a great pub ale!

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 29 Jan 2025). Chill hazed amber brown with small off white head. Soft caramel malt, decent maltiness lingers, mild floral and pine hops in the background. Leans more toward an English pale, simplistic, but competent.

Pours with very nice foam and a clear clean copper body, smells sweetly of lager hops with vague malt hints, not so much pale ale as dark lager really. Flavour is chewy malts with some notes of tin and sweet lager hops. Full mouthfeel. Feels kind of macro honestly, clean and drinkable but missing something exciting and honestly not so much a good pale ale as a clean dark lager. So, well.... meh.

Good barley profile but overall fairly boring. Pours amber with great head and lacing. Light crisp finish. Tap at St augustines.

On tap at the Bitter Tasting Room, pours a golden amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out dry crisp hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is well-balanced between a lightly sweet biscuity malt and a floral hop quality. Standard pale ale - nothing special.

Amber-copper colour, bubbly head, light caramel and modest hopping. Sweet character, a little bubblegum phenols - not expecting that yeast character in a straight up Bass-type. Def want to see a more English yeast character because that’s what the brassy, slightly caramelly, slightly biscuity malts and subtle earthy hopping calls for.

On tap. Pours a hazy amber color with light head. Light aromas of toasted malts and caramel. Flavors of cardboard and malts. Nothing special

Draught at Sita’s, Gibsons
Hazy amber color. Caramel aroma, mild. Caramel flavor, simple, with toasted notes; ordinary bitterness. It’s a hot day, and it’s an easy beer to drink.
