16 oz can purchased at Monument Wines and Spirits in Concord, California. The pour is a clear copper brown with a foamy light tan one inch head. The aroma is nutty malt, soft toffee, and a touch of grass. The taste is the nutty malt, a bit of apple fruit, muted malt toffee sweetness, and finishes with more of the nut. The palate is medium to light bodied with decent carbonation and a clean malt sweet and nut finish. Solid.

Great cause and great afternoon out on the deck while at the Sunnyvale location with the family. Interesting beer and maybe not what I was in the mood for on this afternoon.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours lightly hazy gold with a smallish white head. Aroma is quite tropical but seems to have a garlic note. Med body. Very juicy. Somewhat sweet. Definitely bitter. Flavor is peach, citrus, melon and for me some definite green onion or garlic - not a lot, but present. Nice flavor.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear bright gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is a mix of something like citrus and peach. Med body. Lightly sugary yet definitely bitter. Juicy too. Flavor is like grapefruit pith and peach. Rather unusual IMHO. Nice tho.
