12 oz can bought at an Albuquerque Total Wine recently. Second Street has evolved into our favorite Santa Fe brewery for both their Railway location and the beer they make. But this beer is a new one to me. I have a tulip glass from Great Heights receiving the pour this early evening. A hazy orange-yellow body with a skim of fully white foam. I take a sniff and get tropical fruit, citrus in the background, white bread and a small hoppiness. The taste follows. Mostly all right with some pineapple, plenty of malt, some grapefruit bitterness and maybe a hint of guava. But I am getting something going a bit awry, kind of a leathery, nutty thing. Fortunately as I drink the can down the issue declines. Oh well, glad I tried the beer. Plenty of others at the brewery to drink next time in New Mexico.
