Coronado Brewing Company

American IPA·United States·7% ABV·One of 497 American IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Islander's piney and bitter character. Islander IPA is the brewery's original India Pale Ale, named after Coronado Island. Centennial, Chinook and Columbus hops set a pine-driven bitterness against ripe apricot, grapefruit and mango. The beer pours a clear, deep golden to light copper with a white head, and a firm, bready malt base keeps the fruit in check. The finish is dry and resinous, with the bitterness lingering after the citrus has faded.
