coast of the dead

The brewers at Sudden Death Brewing are no jokers when it comes to their favorite ingredient: hops are king in the brewery on Timmendorfer Strand and there are hardly any beers that are hopped to the brim as consistently as Sudden Death's. So when the team says a beer is hop intensive, they mean it.

The brewers affectionately call their latest creation Coast of the Dead “hop nightmare”. A small warning at this point: This beer is a treat for real hopheads, everyone else should be careful when drinking the double dry-hopped hop monster.

A duo of the finest C-hops ensures the hoppy eruption on the palate: Columbus and Chinook give their all and are supported by two brand-new varieties. Enigma and Meridian are relatively young breeds and are causing a sensation in the craft beer world with their intense aroma. The infernal quartet gives Coast of the Dead a dense, citrus-dominant, almost sticky taste profile. The naturally heavily clouded beer flows into the glass in peach gold and is adorned with a hand's breadth of airy foam. Scent and taste are a firework of grapefruit, tangerine and other citrus fruits, spicy pine needles and strong bitterness, which - how could it be otherwise - leads to a hoppy finish.
