Named after Coronado Island, our original India Pale Ale is a liquid expression of hometown pride. Centennial, Chinook and Columbus hops combine to provide an explosive burst of piney bitterness and luscious notes of apricot, grapefruit and mango that are sure to evoke imagery of swaying palms and sun-kissed shores.

Hazy amber beer, tidy white head. Smooth palate with a little sting from some fine carbonation. Creamy malt base. Sweetish pale malt, prominent but dominant. Nice airy hops - pine with a little fresh orange. Mild bitterness and mild minerals. Fresh finish. Nicely joined up. Very drinkable.

On tap...it was an excellent substitute for the 60 minute that was tapped out shortly before I arrived! Paired well with chorizo. Slightly copper & cloudy...a pungent hop aroma mixed with a pleasant malt scent. Taste is similar to aroma with an added creamy palate. Spicy hop aftertaste and good light lacing. Yum

Bottle bought at GBBF and consumed at home. Clear gold orange with lasting white head. American sweet IPA. Some orange fruit. Decent bitterness on the finish. Some oxidisation. Some resin. Yes, it’s fine. The fruit is good and the bitterness is good. There are other elements like the sweetness that I’m not sure I like.

Pours deep amber into a Sam glass. Off-white conglomerate head with excellent retention recedes leaving spider lacing to an island. Caramel and earthy hop aromas. Soft with toffee and caramel upfront turning to mild resin in the hot, lasting finish.

12 ounce bottle. Hazy amber orange color. Big rocky beige head. Fragrant, resiny pine hops aroma. Toasted malt flavor quickly gives way to the peppery bitter hops mouthfeel that dominates the palate. A great IPA that finishes with a lingering spicy hops aftertaste.
