Coronado Brewing Company 23rd Anniversary Double Hazy IPA American Double / Imperial IPA at 8% ABV (C$4.72 at Collective, 330 ml, packaged on 17-Jun-2019, acquired 22-Sep-2019, reviewed 30-Sep-2019)
Appearance: hazy deep gold with two fat fingers of fluffy pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: juicy stone fruit, citrus, tropical fruit, biscuity malt, light resiny pine. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, light tart. (9/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, medium duration bitter mildly warming finish. (4/5)
That’s how you do a hazy, especially a double. Juicy fruit dominates the aroma, with only a light malt supporting, but on the tongue the sweetness remains restrained. The finish is reasonably clean, and the mild warming presents only after the pint is mostly gone. I could drink a lot of these. (17/20)
