Skeleton Bay IPA is a limited-edition fresh hop IPA. What might be the largest canned fresh hop release by a Southern California brewery to date, the team at Coronado packaged over 300 barrels using 2000 total lbs. of Citra and Simcoe hops from Oasis Farms in the Yakima Valley.
To extract the full potential of the fresh hops, we transfer hot wort onto the hops, allowing flavors, oils, and aromas to infuse into the beer. We then enhance the aromatics even further using YCH Simcoe "Dynaboost" hop oil in the whirlpool before dry hopping with an additional round of Simcoe. The result is an IPA bursting with fresh hop character, best enjoyed as soon as possible to experience the magic of these once-a-year hops!

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours clear gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma has a lot of grapefruit - pith and maybe zest. Dry. Pale malt supporting a lot of grapefruit. Quite bitter. Very good flavor.
