Coronado Islander IPA

Coronado Brewing, Coronado, CA Islander IPA. "Stay Coastal." (Well, why am I drinking this in Minnesota?) Centennial, Columbus, and Chinook hops. All the C's. Almost all. But all C's, anyway. 7.5 % ABV, 83 IBU.

Clouded, pale gold, solid, lasting layer of white head on top. looking good.

In the nose: There's the pine, there's the citrus, right where it ought to be. Absolutely lovely for a hophead like me. Perfect.

In the mouth: Hop bitterness spanks the palate from the start, fierce pine and citrus fruit flavors, punchy and pungent. Juicy, even. Medium bodied, long, hoppy finish. Quite delicious.
