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.

355 ml bottle into shaker. Gentle aroma of fruit and caramel. Flat mouthfeel with piney/nutty taste. Finish is more pine with a ’juicyfruit’ centre. Some minty notes late on. Nice IPA, alcohol well hidden.

Bottle. It pours a golden orange color with a tall, frothy white head. Good staying power and lacing. The aroma is candied orange and grapefruit. Hints of flowers and honey. The flavor has some robust pine, orange and honey along with a good amount of toasted and caramel malt. Strong floral bitterness. The crystal and heavy bitterness kept me from enjoying this more.

Tasted from the tap on the 02/07/2016. Light orange colour with medium foamy white head. Aroma of floral hops, apricot and grass. Taste is medium citrus with floral hops and medium carbonation. Finish is low to medium bitter. Next one please!

Apricot, pear, and papaya aroma, some maltiness. Cloudy amber, wisps of sediment, firm medium yellow head. Papaya and grapefruit. Lemongrass finish. Full body, warm, easy carbonation. Great balance and complexity, alcohol a little too obvious.
