COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.

A clean tasting, flavour packed IPA showcasing 5 different hops.
Appropriately for a brewery based in Brighton and founded in the free state of Kemp Town, we aren’t really interested in strict definitions of what a beer should or shouldn’t be. So when it came to designing our "bigger" pale ale we asked only of our brewers what we always ask...namely that it look great, taste great and most importantly always leave you wanting another. (Oh, and of course that it be a little stronger and hoppier than our West Pier pale ale!)
So, 5% ABV, 65 IBU’s and a whole lot of hops later they came up with this. We proudly call this beer style "South Coast IPA"...whatever that means?!

AshtonMcCobb (4136) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - JUL 25, 2015
On cask at the Pilot Bar, Mumbles. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - big tropical notes, papaya or mango. Taste - mango confirmed and a big lime note tapers the finish. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - beer of the day!

Cask at the Express, hazy dark gold with a thin head and a peppery orange nose. Decent citrus-bitter hoppy bite, dry with a hint of caramel and Seville orange notes. Lingering bitterness.

Smithld1 (53) - Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 27, 2015
Cask tap east. Perfectly doable golden pint. Doesn’t have enough about it to be particularly memorable. Inoffensive and I’d happily do another one but there are about 20 other things in here I’d rather order

imdownthepub (11738) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JUN 27, 2014
Cask conditioned at The Brighton Bier Dispensary, Brighton. Gold to amber with white head. There is a full on tropical fruit flavour right from the start, refreshing with hints of pineapple and jammy mango. Lasting on the palate. Really pretty good.

Scopey (9796) - Croydon, Greater London, ENGLAND - FEB 23, 2014
Cask at CBR 2014. It pours clear amber with a small beige head. The nose is light toast, earth, light spice, grapefruit and a touch of caramel. The taste is clean, crisp, orange, grapefruit, nectarine, toasted grain and caramel with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Smooth, balanced and very drinkable. Another winner from Brighton Bier.
