On tap at the brewery
Hazy amber with a small off-white head and great lacing. Aroma tropical fruit, woody and grapes. Flavors are fruity, grapes, wine, finishes dry
Very nice.

Tap at Freshcraft - hazy copper pour - very potent hop characteristics up front, first in the form of complex tropical fruit, but then also in the form of an abrasively strong spicy and peppery flavor - then the wine flavor pops up, bringing with it light tannins, but also a strong boozy character - tastes kind of like someone mixed some cheap boxed wine with what may have been a decent IPA to begin with - arriving late is even more hot, boozy character, combining with the lingering dry hop bitterness to create a flavor not unlike cheap-ass gin - this beer is abrasive and messy in many ways.

Tap @ Tap n Handle Foco. Clear, dark maroon appearance with a huge, off white head. Big mango, grapefruity, passionfruit citrusy, light red wine aroma. Very citrus fruity aroma. Again, tons of citrus fruit (mango, apricot, passionfruit) along with some dark fruit (plum, red grape) in the flavor along with red wine and floral elements. Somewhat strong finish. Interesting beer but not super smooth.
