Cracker malt with a little bit of toasted bread, with hints of apple, lemon, and grass, followed by a modest honey sweetness and a manageable floral bitterness. Tasty.

A more malt-heavy golden ale, in its own way, with a lot of cracker and a clean middle laced with apple and a floral bitterness with a touch of toast on the finish. Not bad.

Not bad, but the New Zealand hops overpower most of the pilsner subtlety, resulting in a near-IPA with a lot of white grape, lime, and pineapple, with a mineral bitterness on the back end couple with a vegetal note and COAST's signature malt funkiness (not a bad thing). Kinda stuck in a stylistic no man's land; not bad, but doesn't really scratch a pils or an IPA itch.

Surprisingly good lager. Has notes of subtle rice sweetness but mostly maintains a dry grassy lager front, with touches of cracker and a subtle yuzu tartness on the back end. Nice pint.

Almost too sweet, but not quite. Loses the IPA part of the equation, though. As a mild strawberry beer, it’s not bad, but I’d be hard pressed to call it an IPA in a blind tasting. Not bad, just not my thing.

Very strong black-and-mild vibe, good if you love a hefty dose of vanilla in a stout. I dig it; notes of unsweetened chocolate and roast give way to waves of vanilla, but the stout remains dry on the back end, leading to a roasty bitterness in the fade. Tasty.
