Toronado. Pours a cloudy reddish brown. Little off white head. Kinda foamy but I got a very full pour. Aroma is sorta weak. Mostly just a light caramel malt tone. Needs more spice and general oomph. Taste is mildly sweet. It actually tastes a lot like an okay mild and probably would be better on cask (at the time, I had it confused with Upright Whippersnapper, which is a rye beer). Nice fresh grain note with some toasty highlights. Feel is relatively gentle. Low carbonation. Nice enough finish. This is a pretty nice beer, but I don’t get much rye character (again, confusion) and I’d love to find it on hand pump.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe in Davis, CA. Pours dark but transparent brown with a very creamy whiteish beige head. Very light brown ale aroma. Not quite medium body. Very smooth mouthfeel. Light chocolate flavor. Faint, very faint, sour note. Lots of smoothly gritty dark malt. SESSIONABLE!
