Coronado Brewing Company Idiot IPA

Aroma: “Some nice pine and citrus (grapefruit, orange) and lightly toasted malt. Orange marmalade on toast.”

Flavor: “Well balanced clean toasty malt with a floral and herbal hops presence and a touch of citrus peeking through. Bright and crisp with a moderate lingering bitterness. Carbonation is spot on. There aren’t many rough edges to this beer, making it pretty easy drinking.”

Overall: “Clean and easy-drinking for the style. Both hops and malt are balanced. The hops are a little different from most citrus-bomb IIPAs on the market these days, but it’s a refreshing twist. Really enjoyed this one.”
