I recently went to San Diego on vacation. We stayed on Coronado Island, which is one of the barrier islands that forms San Diego harbor. While I was out there, I got to sample some of the local brew.
First, the Coronado Golden.
Great refreshing beer. Noble hop aroma, pilsner malt aroma, tastes a bit fruity like an ale, but with a great pilsner malt backbone. Good malty finish. Easy drinking beer.
This is a perfect lawnmower beer. Great for a hot afternoon working outside, or sitting by the lake. I can see this is a crowd pleaser. 7/10
Next, the CBC red.
Hoppy aroma, nice hop flavor that lingers. Great head retention. Tastes like centennial hops, but not too bitter. When this beer warms up, the flavors come out and explode. This beer would be better with a lower degree of carbonation, mabye on cask, but its still a great hoppy beer.
7-8/10
