Coronado Brewing Company Frog’s Breath American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$10.75 at Sundance Wine Market, 650 ml, no bottle date or best before)
Pours clear (first glass) to cloudy and heavily particulate-laden (second glass) deep gold with two fingers of loose white head, good retention and lacing. (4/5) Nose is lime, pine resin, pale malt, mild honey. (8/10) Taste is moderate sweet, moderate bitter, mild tart. (8/10) Medium body, moderate sustained carbonation, crisp bitter finish. (4/5)
I’ve been looking for this one for a while, pleased to have finally located one. Interesting lime leaf tones add a pleasant tart edge to that decent base IPA that Coronado seems to handle quite capably. Nothing negative here; a solid IPA with an interesting edge. (16/20)
