Coronado Brewing Company 25th Anniversary IPA – American IPA at 7.5% ABV (C$5.26 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 28-Jul-2021, acquired 3-Sep-2021, reviewed 5-Sep-2021)
Appearance: clear pale straw with one fat finger of rocky pale ivory head, good retention and minimal lacing. (3/5) Aroma: mild, berries, herbal, citrus, light dank pine. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, off-dry medium bitter finish. (4/5)
I dunno – I suppose Coronado would know better than I do, but this doesn’t feel all that San Diego-ish to me. The aroma is mild and not particularly dank or piney, and herbal or berry notes are more emphatic than any citrus. It’s OK, but I’m not particularly thrilled by it, and certainly don’t consider it a worthy 25th anniversary effort. (14/20)
This will be my 5,047th unique Untappd check-in.
