Hazy dark blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have some winey woodchips and a little spice. Something like sweet ginger biscuits in there. Seems to be overly spiced.

On tap at Homestead Black pour with a thick and sticky mocha head and lacing That dries to the side of the glass. Big aroma of chocolate and a little coffee and toostise roll. Flavors are similar with more mostly chocolate. Pretty sweet.

Crisp, ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a nice three to four centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of light grass, hay, flowers and a dash of wheat, with some light lemon and pine scents picked up from the hops, but not much of those, either. Light to Medium-bodied; Fairly grassy and biscuity malt shows through everything, with a good kick of flowers right away and a small, but noticeable, yeast and breadiness, but the hops and related bitterness do eventually come out in the end with some light alpha acid notes from the piney hops. Aftertaste shows a good balance of malt and hops, both on the softer side of things, but some dry notes, a little bit of sweetness from toffee and caster sugar, but the yeast and breadiness hits a bit harder at the end, as well. Overall, a pretty nice, but relatively understated and mild beer with some hop notes, but nothing on par with Phantom Bride, but of course great to have as a longtime Deftones fan (who wouldn't be) and one who loves beer, too! I sampled this sixteen ounce can, purchased from Trader Joe's in San Francisco, California (Fisherman's Wharf) on 03-April-2021 for US$2,50 in North Beach, sampled all the way on the other side of the country on 25-December-2021, Christmas Day 2021, with my family here in Washington.
