Coronado Orange Avenue Ale

Brewed by Coronado Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Coronado, California USA

Draft at the brewpub: Pours a hazy orange color with a slice on orange on the rim of the pint glass. There is visable pulb floating in the beer...not sure if this is from the orange slice or the beer. There is almost no head. Aroma is heavy orange. Some light spiciness also floating in the aroma. A good aroma. Flavor is citrus, mainly oranges. Not as sweet as expected...which was a pleasant surprise. Body is much more full than I expected...again, another good surprise. Mild alcohol tingle. A good fruit beer.

650 ml bottle from Beverages4less. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with some floaties. The head is small and white and soon recedes to a fine film. The aroma is very weak with a hint of citrus and not much else. The flavor is subtle and complex with oranges, coriander, walnuts, biscuit, English style hopping and sweet malts. The mouthfeel is light and crisp with lively carbonation. Overall: This would make a great summer brew. It is a bit better than the ratings here would suggest, its not a big beer, so its not gonna get the big numbers, but it certainly is a well crafted one.

Nice Hop flavor profile with just a hint of Orange in the finish. Color is deep golden color, aroma is hops with orange peel and perhaps a tiny bit of corriander. Refreshing summer brew!!!

Draft at San Diego Brewing Company. Some orange and caramel aromas off this reddish brown ale with a small head. Flavors were more orange and sweet malts. Somewhat of an amber ale finish. Just Okay.

Pours pale yellow w/ a good head and lingering lace. I would not say it smells of citrus at all let alone oranges but it is of distinction. Some kind of gummy spice. Medium full nectar w/somewhat ceamy carbonation. Wonderfully malty w/ exotic flavanoids bursting allowing a hopsy twitch to exite the buds. The finish lingers w/ the taste of biscuits.

Pours very light and clear yellow with a white head. Light sweet orange, mild cleanser aroma, sweet malts, and some hopping. Orange in the flavor, it’s light though. Sweet citrus and malt, with not much in the way of hops. Sweet finish. A decent brew but not something I’d normally go for. (Draught at Dry Dock, Tokyo)

Sample at the brewery. Pours clear golden, white head. Aroma / taste, orange, some honey blossom, coriander, grains, sweet honey like palate, with some caramel. Profile is hoppy but remains smooth and enjoyable.

On tap at Coronado Brewery--Light hazy orange-straw body. Served with an orange slice. Tiny bubbly head. Bready, yeasty American hefe nose. Crisp, clean and grainy finish. Quite good. Sweet honey creaminess w/ coriander and orange zest. Finished a little high on the carbonation levels. Harsh on tongue.
