Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Coronado Brewing Company
Anniversary – 18th Annual Specialty Ale. I picked up this bottle at
Plaza Bottle Shop in San Leandro (here).
They carry lots of special beers before many of the other local bottle shops.
If you find yourself in San Leandro, check this place out!
From the Coronado Brewing Company website: “We are always
looking for opportunities to get creative around the brewhouse, and the
celebration of another year of passionate brewing is the best opportunity we
can think of. As such, we revel in the challenge of coming up with a new and
interesting brew each year under our "Anniversary" label worthy of
both paying homage to our past and the new year of brewing that lays ahead.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a light orange color with a nice white head and lots of lacing.
Aroma: Citrus, pine,
floral and tropical hops mixed with caramel and biscuit malts.
Taste: Tropical,
citrus and pine hop bitterness balanced nicely with caramel and biscuit malts.
Overall: Solid and
delicious, Coronado Brewing Company 18th Anniversary Specialty Ale
is excellent. This 10% ABV Double IPA is
absolutely worth picking up if you’re a fan of the style. I’ve purchased a few now…finally getting
around to getting this review written.
If you can find some, try it!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
