| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2008 lucky me must have gotten a fresh bottle from olibeer22. pours a golden orange color with a rocky off white head and lots of foamy lacing. super fruity floral aroma... cooked pineapple, tangerine skin, orange/ fruit sweetness, sweet caramel grain and pine (woody not needles). orange and light caramel sweetness are quite muted next to the huge dose of sharp bitter hops... pithy citrus and resinous sticky pine bite my tongue throughout. it doesn’t start sweet and fade off... it starts dry and ends dry. medium body with a harshly dry texture and parching mouth feel... just the way i like my ipas. unfortunately, there’s not a whole lot of character but it is awfully good...

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 23, 2008 Samples at Callahan’s in San Diego. This beer pours a clear orange-gold color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Light piney hops and citrus in the nose. Medium-bodied and lightly bitter with flavors of hops and citrus, with some sweeter fruits (tangerine) and sweet malts underneath. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering fruitiness left behind. Sweeter than a lot of IPAs, and slightly above average overall. fg8080 (37), San Diego, California, USA

Sharp bitter oranges and impression of fatty acids. Caramel and then a push of sharp, very resiney hops. Very sharp MF, burning and metallic tang. Not Coronado’s best. cbkschubert (2020), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA

Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is pine, floral, and citrus hops. Flavor is more malt than hops. Not quite what I was expecting. Still has a nice hop bite though. Medium body. A pretty good IPA. decaturstevo (2010), decatur, Tennessee, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 15, 2008 Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one.
Pours clear medium gold, with a firm, smallish head of white.
Malt aroma with solid, citrusy pine hops bitterness that runs right through to the finish..
The flavor is well balanced, plenty of malt sweetness with a solid hop bitterness to accompany it.
