Draft. Atomic Fireball cinnamon candy aroma. Deep murky red, minimal head. Sweet cinnamon candy flavor. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Definitely a novelty beer. After a few sips, I was done, as there was nothing but candy going on.

Draft. Wheat malt and orange aroma. Hazy yellow gold with a large white head. Wheat malt, orange, and band-aid flavor. Light body, soft carbonation. I didn’t get any tequila/oak out of this one at all, and band-aid seems to be a common flavor with this brewer.
