American Amber Ale 5.7 º 46 IBU

Coronado Brewing Company

Coronado Mermaid’s Red is a refined American Amber Ale that balances a seductive red hue with complex malt and hop layers. The aroma is defined by a vibrant bouquet of floral and citrus notes driven by Cascade hops, complemented by a resinous pine undertone from a blend of Pacific Northwest hops. On the palate, rich flavors of sweet toffee and deep caramel provide a sturdy malt backbone with a hint of light toast. This initial sweetness gives way to a firm hop bitterness and a lingering dry finish, making for a highly flavorful yet approachable pint that stays true to its West Coast roots.

Appearance. Deep amber to coppery-red with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderately large, creamy off-white head that shows good retention and leaves delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Distinctive citrus and floral notes from Cascade hops are prominent, accompanied by a resinous pine character. A supportive malt profile of medium caramel and sweet toffee provides depth, with low fruity esters and a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial malty sweetness featuring rich caramel and toffee flavors, accented by a subtle toasty note. The hop character follows the aroma with citrus and pine flavors. Bitterness is moderate to moderately high, providing a balanced counterpoint to the malt. The finish is medium-dry with lingering hop flavor and a clean, refreshing aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, enhancing the beer’s drinkability. Very low alcohol warmth is present, and the finish is free of astringency.
