Coast - DDH IPA

This is a 0.0 % ABV Double Dry-Hopped India Pale Ale from the Edinburgh brewery set up in 2019 and which specialises in zero alcohol vegan beers. It has just 99 calories in the 330 ml can. Hops are the name of the game in a DDH IPA and this one is fully loaded with Simcoe, Citra and Mosaic - all typical of hop-forward brews. A pale yellow body supports a lively moderate white head and the aroma is very much tropical fruit, particularly mango. The flavour is strongly citrussy, especially grapefruit and orange. The body is rather disappointing being on the thin side and the mouthfeel is quite gassy. The finish is hoppy and sharp. A beer with a prominent flavour, as expected, but let down by the body and the carbonation level.
