Sampled on draft this beer poured a dark golden color with a large creamy orange-white head that left excellent lacing. The aroma was rough with fruity and floral hops. The flavor was bitter and tangy with yeast, cracker, cactus, pine and rough floral hops. Very long finish. Medium body. Not good.

Tap mad mex robinson, nice place for wings at happy hour. Slight pleasant perfumy BO aroma, like the odor of your favorite mate. Cloudy pale eye. Big bitter taste mellowed out with a fruity like sumthin, must be quava. Yes, I hate IPA but this is OK by me. Probably more like a decently hopped APA. Even had decent co2 mind you. I've tasted more impact than this in the APA style, hehehe. So, generally, not bad by the point of reference of a lager lover.

Reddish brown. No head from a Crowler. Smells like a roasted licorice with chocolate. No carb and dense mouthfeel. More sweet than I expected. Chocolate and wood along with smoke.
