JoshRaburn	2.7 Coastal Merry Maidens Mild Monday, September 26, 2022
DJMonarch	3.2 Coastal Summer Blonde Cask Handpump at GBBF 2014, Kensington Olympia 14/08/2014 Malt and hop aromas. Clear golden coloured fruity and hoppy with a bitter and dry malt finish. Friday, July 1, 2022
DJMonarch	3.4 Coastal Sunshine IPA Cask Stillage at Winnington Park Recreation Club, Northwich 20/09/2013 Hoppy aroma. White head. Golden coloured floral and hoppy with some alcohol present. A hint of dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish. Wednesday, June 15, 2022
Martinsh	3.8 Coastal Barrel Aged Sour On tap at Craft Beer Oasis, Crewe. This was brewed by Coastal when they were still in Cornwall. They have yet to start brewing in Cheshire. Has a highly spirits orientated nose (think it was rum). Pours a murky dark brown with a reddish tinge, and a minimal cream head. Dark fruits (plums, cherries, dates) dominate the taste, with figs, crab apples and gooseberries to the fore. The texture is a bit watery, and is initially sweetish, but turns to sour whilst still in the mouth. Finish is the residual sourness. Ooh matron ! This is very drinkable. Saturday, May 1, 2021
Jerseyislandbeer	3.5 Coastal West Coast IPA Old rating from 30-12-14 - 500ml bottle poured at home, it's amber with a white head. Aromas & tastes of orange, marmalade, peach, pine, toffee & hints of spice. Medium body. Light to medium bitter finish. Very enjoyable Monday, December 28, 2020
Leighton	3.8 Coastal Erosion Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Pigs Ear 2019. Pours clear red-brown with a foamy, khaki head. Really interesting stuff. Moderately sweet, some tangy berries, a little funk, earthy bitterness, toffee, toasted malts. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly sweet finish, jammy berries, more soft funk, brown bread, old wood, leaves, maybe a little smoke even. A real novelty. Sunday, November 29, 2020
madmitch76	3.2 Coastal Euphoria 19th July 2020 Clear deep amber beer, a few tan bubbles dissapate quickly. Palate is light and fairly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. The malts bring a little dark toffee that isn't sweet and starts to show some bitterness. Ripe bitterish orange peel and a touch of dark marmalade. Light finish. It's alright but should be delivering more an all fronts considering the abv. Red IPA? Twaddle! Sunday, July 19, 2020
Beese	2.5 Coastal St Pirans Porter Cask at The St. Albans Beer Festival on 25/09/2008. Not bad, but a little thin and there was a slight wet paper note to the aroma. Otherwise, some pleasant bitterness at the end. Sunday, May 3, 2020
FatPhil	2.7 Coastal Erosion Gravicask (Rail Ale 2019, Crewe) (6:4:5:2:10=2.7) Deep amber. Sweet malty aroma. Some problems in the taste, a sour hint. Sweet and dull, deadish palate. This tastes like a failure to store sweet water hygenically - not everything that happened could be considered "wrong", but just because alcohol was formed doesn't make it right. Wednesday, January 15, 2020
FatPhil	2.1 Coastal Euphoria Gravicask (Rail Ale 2019, Crewe) (4:3:4:2:8=2.1) Ugh, toiletty aroma. Sour taste. Nope. However, it did lead to an interesting discussion with Steve who brewed 7168 (best beer of the festival) whether this was an acetobacter (his guess) rather than an enterobacter (mine). Such silver linings are not worth the clouds they come with. Wednesday, January 15, 2020
FatPhil	3.1 Coastal Kernow Imperial Stout Gravicask (Rail Ale 2019, Crewe) (6:4:6:3:12=3.1) Black, small beige head. Blandish sweet roasty aroma. Full palate, very sweet and a little slick. Big bold heavy roasted taste, chocolatey more than burnt. A heavy brew, and a bit too sweet. Monday, January 13, 2020
FatPhil	3.8 Coastal St Pirans Porter Gravicask (Rail Ale 2019, Crewe) (7:4+:7:5-:15-=3.8-) Black, ight beige head. Rich roasty aroma, plenty of spicy hopping, almost like some BIPAs. Rich full spicy roasty taste. Super smooth succulent palate. Lovely bitter finish. A lesser brewer would call this a black IPA, but it's base is clearly a porter that the hop bill has been amplified in. Monday, January 13, 2020
