Pint can. pours a hazy/cloudy pale yellow color with a smallish white head that soon fades away. The aroma is quite strong with pineapple, grapefruit and mango. The taste doesn't quite live up to the aroma with simple grapefruit. Bitterness is medium. The palate is full and the carbonation soft. Finishes medium in duration with lingering bitter grapefruit. Overall: Ok brew--This might be a nice summer quaff, but they are releasing it as a winter seasonal.

A pint can found in Albuquerque on our last trip to northern New Mexico. I am pleased to find a new beer from La Cumbre to rate, an infrequent event. There is my Buffalo Bayou snifter ready to receive the pour and I proceed. The appearance is an opaque gold-yellow liquid completed by a slender skim of white bubbles. The scent is strong with tropical fruit and to a much lesser degree, citrus. The taste, well, it is different. Grapefruit, hops, herbal, a bit of lime, cardboard and a bare hint of mango. A rare misfire from the brewery for me.
