Coronado Orange Ave. Wit

Coronado Orange Avenue Wit. 5.2% ABV. 15 IBU. Coronado Brewing, Coronado, California.

Clear, light golden color, slim white head.

In the nose: fruit forward, orange and other citrus, slight spice, sweet wheat.

In the mouth: Generous flavors up front, loaded with coriander, orange peel, etc. Abundant fruit, , mellow malt, and a bit hoppier than your average wit. Lean bodied, easy-drinking, definite sessioner.

Good balance in this one, and definitely an American/ Californian take on the style. Misses a little something more special to the Belgian style. But a good beer nonetheless.

Our spiced California style Wit is both refreshing and complex. Brewed with wheat, coriander, California orange peel and local orange blossom honey. From the first sip to the last you’ll find subtle flavors of bread, spice, citrus and a thirst quenching orange honey finish.
