On draft at Coleman, delicious stuff, great citrus and piney flavors, awesome

Bottle... Pours murky orange with amber highlights and a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Good retention. The aroma is a marriage of pale-malt mash and simcoe-hop earthiness. Light to medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. The flavor is loaded with heavy metallic and earthy bitterness. Lengthy, crisp, snappy-hop finish. Bottle courtesy of Elliesbrown!

Growler from Greenville Beer Exchange as a part of Growler Saturday #6 A: Pours a hazy, deep copper color with a big fluffy eggshell color cap. Retention is pretty sweet as well S: Classic simcoe-style aroma..pretty distinct and I think it is slightly vegetal. Resinous/piney, light citrus, and a firm malt backing. Nicely balanced seemingly, with a light caramel note. T: Bitterness is pretty disguised at first, but as it opens, the bitterness is amped up. Vegetal hops again, with a nice caramel malt backing. Light citrus too MF/O: Smooth carbonation, perfect mouthfeel to this one. The bitterness and/or hop flavor lingers in the finish. Overall, another impressive COAST offering...again Notes: I absolutely love COAST’s single hop pale ale’s. Simcoe was excellent, but the Cascade was absolutely phenomenal. Another hit

Bottle. Pours cloudy gold with bone white head. Nose/taste of fresh mango, pineapple, citrus, malt and pine. Finishes dry slightly bitter with pineapple husks. Medium body. Amazing.

Pitch-perfect Pale Ale, with a monstrous herbal funky-hop insanity that is unmistakably Simcoe. Grainy, thick malt undertone sets a formidable base on which the hops go berzerk, yet the ABV stays at a sobriety-friendly level. Yeah, I was sipping it from a plastic cup, but fuck off. I know good when I taste it. Honorable mention to Hom’s Bistro Burger-- holy lord that was tasty.

Limited release from COAST brewing in N. Chas. Lucky enough to get a growler of it at Whole Foods. Aroma is citrusy and piney- pours a nice amber color with a slight cloudiness to it. Frothy head that has decent staying power. Taste is just like the aroma- not too bitter. Has a decent malty balance to it. Clean, smooth and refreshing. Only recent it didn’t rate higher is that it leaves a bit of a funny aftertaste. Finishes well, but lingers badly. Good to know that I like Simcoe Hops- another solid beer from COAST.
