Coronado North Island IPA New England-style India Pale Ale. Hazy. Tropical. Juicy. 7.5% ABV. 40 IBU. Coronado Brewing, Coronado, CA.
It's hazy, bright golden hued. Slim, milky white head.
In the nose: Tropical fruit notes aplenty. Pineapple, guava, etc. Soft'n'fuzzy. Bitterness on low.
In the mouth: Nice and bitter up front, on the way back it's mild and smooth. Soft mouthfeel, while bitter hops flavors lay low. More soft and fuzzy on the palate. Bright and citrus-y. A tasty one.
Well, it's a New England IPA. If you like that. Go knock yourself out.
This New England-style IPA is bursting with ripe, tropical juiciness. British ale yeast accentuates the hop fruitiness and gives this unfiltered beer a dense, foggy haze like the coastal marine layer swallowing the north side of our island.
