Leisure Lagoon

Tap to rate

Leisure Lagoon, named after an inlet in Mission Bay, was Coronado's first year-round hazy beer. It pairs West Coast hops with an English ale yeast that softens the body and draws out the fruit. Pineapple and lemon lead, with orange, a floral note and some dank pine behind them. It pours a hazy pale gold with a white head. The body is medium and rounder than a West Coast pale ale, while a firm bitterness and a dry finish keep it from turning sweet.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright pineapple and lemon notes, immediately recognizable and fruit-forward. Supporting aromatics reveal orange, a delicate floral character, and a subtle piney, dank quality in the background. The English ale yeast softens the overall aromatic profile, creating a rounded and approachable impression rather than a sharp, aggressive hop presentation.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with medium body and a rounder mouthfeel than a typical West Coast pale ale, supported by the English yeast's contribution. Tropical and citrus fruit flavors persist through the mid-palate, with lemon and pineapple holding center stage. A firm bitterness emerges in the latter half, maintaining balance and preventing any residual sweetness from dominating the finish.
