The last installment in our Surf Break Series. This Hazy IPA is crafted with an exciting trio of Waimea, HBC 586, and Idaho Gem hops, unveiling a swell of enticing aromas of apricot, papaya, melon, and zesty tropical lime.

Hazy amber brew with plenty of foam in the Pilsner glass. Interesting aroma of orange, lime peel, and more. Mouthfeel is thickish but spritzy. Fruity flavor includes some apricot and citrus. It's moderately sweet with a sharp finish and distinct bitter aftertaste. Somehow Coronado has managed to make a really good NEIPA. From the 16 oz can purchased at Trader Joes. Dated 11/1/2023.

Solid hazy! Not much of a nose, but great looking in a glass and very tasty.
Looks:
Opaque/hazy orange, persistent one inch head of foam. Nice lacing on the glass.
Nose:
Subdued but great scent of grapefruit and stonefruits.
Flavor:
Whoa! Funky, dank, grassy, and very hoppy stonefruit flavors (peach, grapefruit). Not sure what the hop bill is, but I am getting some wonderfully delicious berry notes. Maybe there is some Mosaic in here? Either way, it's pretty unique.
Mouthfeel:
Creamy and medium, but finishes mostly dry. Very nice!
Overall:
Distinctly hoppy with some funky berry notes. I think this might be my new favorite beer from Coronado!

Let me preface this by saying I have previously been unimpressed with most Coronado beers, but this is different. 16 oz can dated 8/2/23 poured into a tulip on 10/2/23. Beautiful hazy. Opaque but no suspended solids. Tall, verrry long lasting white creamy head that leaves lots of nice lacing. Complex, fruity smell and flavor. Mostly apricot and other stone fruit. Smell is muted compared to flavor. Really nice border-line creamy mouthfeel with nice, fine carbonation. This is a winner.
