On-tap at the brewery.Pours hazy amber with a moderate sized, offwhite head, big bubbles, some lace. Smells caramelly and light malty sweet with some light bitterness. Tasty yet plain malt flavors. Medium body, good carbonation.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at brewpub. Color was dark, dirty gold. Aroma of bread, yeast and toast. Not much hops. Flavor was much of the same, very grainy and bready. A bit fruity in the finish. Really not that great.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sample from the brewery. My experiance was quite the opposite. Pours a clear medium golden color. Nose was light on hops and big on cereal grains, not a bad ESB.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
FYI - Coronado Brewing Company doesn’t do a sampler, and although they still have the little sample glasses displayed at the bar it was like pulling teeth to get them to let us freaking try the beer in sample size! I mean - when you’re driving you can’t exactly have a pint of every beer a brewpub has to offer... ANYWAY - the point is our waitress was a b-word, but the bartender finally relented and sold us three tiny glasses for the price of one pint.. the moral to this story is that all of their beer was well below average and wasn’t even worth the fight to try them. Don’t go here!
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a clear orange-amber color with a minimal off-white head that fizzes away quickly. Ring of lacing at the top of the glass, with dense spots underneath. Light citrus and hops in the nose. Light-bodied and mildly hoppy with a sweet malt base. The finish is effervescent and mildly hopped, with a sweet aftertaste. Fairly straightforward overall.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at brewery. Hazy orange with a fizzy white head. Faint malty aroma. Grainy citrus hops taste with a crisp mildly bitter finish.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at cbc. Golden copper pour with a whit foamy lace. Almost no aroma. Flavor is plain with a half way decent finishing bitter. Palate was foamy and thin. Nothing special at all but not terrible. Just ordinary.
