Quite hazy orange, off-white foam, average.
Hoppy and fruity smell, tropical, peach, mango, pineapple.
Very juicy taste, tropial fruit juice.
Again tropical, then green hop in the aftertaste, for a decent balance.
But, for our taste the style is a bit boring.

I realize “hazy” isn’t a flavor description, but a style (and one based on appearance, natch). But this is described as such on the can, so there’s that.
Enjoyed a little over a month from canning.

I suppose enjoyed is a little generous. The aroma seems ... off. As does the flavor, and the finish. It’s musty, but not in a good way, with something akin to wet cardboard and stale bread in the aftertaste.

This is a great IPA. Not sure if I would call it a NEIPA, at least it isn’t your typical NEIPA, it’s rather a West Coast/San Diego re-interpretation of it - and it’s great!
What makes it so? Its aroma, it smells like zesty tropical fruits and citruses. And its flavor, it tastes so real, I mean like real fruits, in this case like real grapefruits, real blood oranges, tangerines and California Oranges (like Sunkist?) This combination just did it, at least I really like how this beer is and I could go on drinking one after another without getting bored of it.
There is nothing against this beer, no negative comments. Might not be a class A+, all 5s, but it is a top runner. Very well done, Coronado, might be your best one so far.

I am drinking a can that is 7 months old and it is a hazy gold pour filled with small chunks suspended throughout. The cap is 1" off-white with good retention. The aromas are mild - a little muted =- with light toasty grain, some citrus and citrus rind. The flavor is better than the appearance and the aroma. it is slightly sweet, citrus, juicy. light biscuit with a citrus rind bitterness that provides balance. The beer looks bad and doesn't smell like much but it does drink OK. It is satiating and probably would not drink more than one in an evening.

Pours a beautiful hazy, whitish blonde in color with a thick, frothy head atop. Lots of lacing as you drink. Very fruity on the nose; tropical fruits (mango, pineapple), citrus (grapefruit) and lemon with a hint of pine and a little spice. Grapefruit rind and spice linger on the tongue. Finishes a bit dry. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy with a bit of chewiness. I would call this medium bodied with solid carbonation. Overall I am very pleased with this brew. I'm a big fan of fruity IPAs and this checks all the boxes. It's flavorful, it's complex, and it's quenching. Cheers!

Picked up a single from Total wine not really knowing what to expect, not cloudy/hazy like your famous local breweries but decent enough to consider it hazy. Mild carb, little to no bitterness,and does have a decent tropical appeal to it. Good beer,good taste and decently priced....
