Coronado Brewing Company Orange Avenue Wit Witbier at 5.2% ABV ($9.29 at Quarry Park Co-Op)
Pours clear (first glass) to cloudy (second glass) deep gold with a short-lived one finger of loose white head diminishing rapidly to a thin skim, patchy minimal lacing (3/5). Nose is orange pulp and peel, honey, coriander, wheat (6/10). Taste is moderate sweet and bitter, finishing mildly spicy (6/10). Light to medium body, moderate to low sustained carbonation, with a dry bitter and spicy finish (3/5).
Kind of disappointing, if I’m honest. The sadly deflating head sort of mirrored my perception of this beer. The first whiff of orange pulp and peel started to get me interested, but then it just kinda slumped. The nose started to come across as a bit perfumey, then the taste started to feel the same. Not the best offering from what I had considered a pretty solid brewery. (12/20)
