Skeleton Bay
Coronado Brewing Company

 

Labelled as a fresh-hop offering, this one pours with just the lightest impression of chill haze on a golden body with an ample finger of white head. Crisp and somewhat malty, but also hoppy and citrusy with a catty presence on the hop profile, its a decent if somewhat forgettable fresh-hop WCIPA.

Clear amber brew with exuberant foam in the Bacchus tumbler. Pleasant aroma of lime with a touch of melon. Starts with a sweet note and the fruity vibes. Citrus with a dash of orange juice and grapefruit peel. Some resins in the finish. The aftertaste starts out moderate but keep growing and makes this less and less drinkable. A shame, since the flavors are good. From the 16 oz can purchased at Baron Market on West Point Loma. Dated 10/17/2024.

 

 

 

Fresh can here in N Idaho from a brewery I don’t seek out because we have such stellar breweries close by.
Something different is always good.
Looks ok. A tad orange for my liking in a freshie.
Smell reminds me of Phantom bride by Belching Beav.
I like the crispness. Finishes a little malty cracker.
Overall a really drinkable beer.
I wouldn’t consider this a Fresh Hop but it also isn’t fair after tasting the best freshies from the PNW in years!

Can pour - clear golden straw color with foamy white head leaving scattered frosty lacing. Nose is piney, resinous and dank. Taste follows with a heavy citric bite lingering on a dryish finish. Citra and simcoe hops on full display. Freshie tastiness.
