Sample during the "Platform Beer Co. GABF Tap Takeover" at The Ohio Taproom on 10/12/2016. The beer is a hazy dark yellow color with a thin white head that recedes steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing. Smoked malt, wheat and spice in the nose. Medium body with flavors of smokey malt, herbal wheat and a bit of spiced fruit. The finish is smoky with a grainy malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can. So I was really surprised to see \"Jocote\" on the label here. My experience with the fruit was in Nicaragua, where they were sold green and served with salt. About the most puckering experience of my life! Here things seem to be more plum-like. Kind of a ripe green plum aroma to the whole thing and a clean gold/orange body. It’s an interesting aroma, to say the least. Flavor is nicely fruity up front, with that sweet and jammy plum-ness that then gives way to a bit of a flabby finish. Can’t say if it is yeast or what, but the ending is a little band-aid-like and is a poor bookend to a great start. This is interesting, to say the least, but the execution at the finish line leaves something to be desired.

Can. Pours like the contents of a barley snow globe into my pint glass, with chunks of stuff swirling around and all. To be honest, it kinda looks like the first couple of pints you get off a new keg of home-brew. Aromas are fairly weak with a bit of honey a touch of tropical fruit (cantaloupe and mango?) and maybe a little bit of a grassy edge. Flavor has a sharper hops presence that comes across as a little lemony. It’s OK, but could be much more interesting... especially given the name and the concept. I really want to try the original home-brew recipe to see how well this matches it. I have a suspicion that something went a little off while upscaling the recipe/production.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a dark red-brown color with a small foamy orange-white head that left good lacing. The aroma was tangy and citric with pine, sugar and yeasty notes. The flavor was bitter, tart and tangy with notes of crystal malt, sugar, pine and a hint of citrus. Long finish. Moderately full bodied and smooth. Alcohol well contained. Decent.
