Bomber pours deep gold with white head. The aroma is full and loaded with grapefruit tartness and sweet tangelo along with a hint of malt sweetness in the background. The taste is fresh, bright and refreshing and doesn’t lead on at all to the label stated ABV. I get sweet malts that quickly bleed into a load of grapefruit hops and tangelo. Very nice experience. The Belgian yeast approach compliments the late addition hop flavor and sweet malts nicely. Yum. It has a somewhat dry finish.

Samples at Callahan’s in San Diego. This beer pours a clear orange-gold color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Light piney hops and citrus in the nose. Medium-bodied and lightly bitter with flavors of hops and citrus, with some sweeter fruits (tangerine) and sweet malts underneath. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering fruitiness left behind. Sweeter than a lot of IPAs, and slightly above average overall.

Dark brown. Roasty nose, lots of coffee and a bit of nuts. Very rich, but not quite impy rich, just dark chocolate, coffee and nuts.

Orangey-amber with slight haze. Liquorice root, pomegranate, and somewhat cherryish nose. Deep taste - almost like a dubbel with dark fruits and liquorice in a pale beer. Slightly bitter, but moderately sweet in the finish.

Orangey-amber colour. Mango, simcoe nose with yuzu and chewy malts. Strong, but with a sweet hop fruitiness. Very bright. Lots of citrus and tropical fruit flavours. Very bitter finish with woody hints of alcohol and light crystal malt chewiness. Suprisingly did not leave any lace on my glass.

Draught Good yellow head, orange-amber ale. Again dry hops, tad of ureum, and some citrus. Moderate to good bitterness, some pale and caramel malts, ending however fizzy and watery. Medium bodied at best. Not very convincing. From the IPA quattuor, the Idiot is definitely the best hands down.

Draught Light orange-amber, some lace from yellowish head. Sharp bitter oranges and impression of fatty acids. Caramel and then a push of sharp, very resiney hops. Very sharp MF, burning and metallic tang. Not Coronado’s best.

Draught Good whitish head ove pale metallic-golden beer. "Crisp", some corn, and fugitive malts & hops, fresh pastry. Sweet, I really seem to get adjuncts. Light, watery texture. Not convincing by half. Inspired by Bohemian Pilsener???

Draught Small yellow rim; duller orange-mahogany beer. Good hoppy nose, not overpowering, resiny and citrus aroma’s, fresh-smelling. Bitter-hoppy with caramel & toasted malts. Unripe fruit and nearly tart. Slightly wry and burning MF; medium bodied. A good one, with some balance and not exaggerated.
