The Coromandel is a beautiful peninsula to the north of Auckland, New Zealand. With a great selection of beaches, The Coromandel is a favorite destination for vacationing in the summer. As one might expect, with great beaches comes great beers, and in New Zealand this is held true with an overwhelming selection of great light lagers brewed with pilsner malt and a hint of biscuit to provide flavor and a base to display the wonderful selection of New Zealand hops. The Coromandel encompasses everything Chris came to expect and love about New Zealand Lagers and brewed in a “Fusion” style.

Brewed as a pilsner but with their heart in New Zealand, and their heart on the west coast, the inspiration that fuels Fusion Brewing's updated lager might be strained, but its taste is quite effortless.
Bright straw and with a kiss of haze, the frothy ale sits like proper pilsner in the glass. Its tantalizing hop bouquet kicks off with tangy under ripened citrus, green tropical fruit and a hint of stone fruit for roundness and variety. Soft sweetness of baking bread, wafer and honeysuckle come to like with the first sip.
Confidently effervescence, the malt quickly bounces from the tongue, carrying away much of the malt influence in order to favor the blend of Motueka, Loral, Equinox and Galaxy hops. Lime, white grapefruit, green papaya, young mango and guava all take the flavors to a mildly tart and winey place. Trending hoppy and herbal, the dry nature of the beer highlights the bitterness in finish in a green tea, cedar and lime peel kind of way.
Light in body without becoming domestic so, the lager's bright carbonation keeps the palate arid, easy and highly drinkable While not quite an IPA, the beer edges close not because of its high content but because of its dry malt substrate. Its hop forward finish extends on the tongue in a medium length aftertaste of lemongrass, lime and white wine once again.
