Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours clear, bright gold with a large, frothy white head that diminished rapidly. Aroma is floral and bready/grainy. Approaching med body. Flavor is bready/grainy with floral and arguably a hint of Saaz grass. Arguably. Decent food wash.

12 oz. can. Pours black, with a big, dense, tan head. The nose is caramelized sugar, light espresso, oak, and some earth. Sweet and malty, with a mild bitterness. Light to medium body, with a grainy palate. This is an easy and pretty solid beer.

Can at 5.5% from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours dark brn/blk with a moderate tan head. Aroma of toffee and dark malt. Near medium body. Flavor is nutty, toffee, burnt malt. A bit undry. Puts an astringent strain on the back side parts of my tongue. All in all, it's a tasty brew.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours clear copper with a foamy beige head. Aroma is herbal hop over mildly roasty malt. Med plus body. Flavor is dry, roasty malt, with some spicy hop, and citru/pine. It's sort of milky (not flavor, just impact) in the mouth. Bitter enough. It's a bit off the main line, but it's pretty good.

Golden coloured body with a thin, pure white head, only a centimetre tall, with a ton of small bubbles all rising from the bottom. Aroma of hay, grass and light herbs, with a dose of very light and mild wheat towards the end with some bread and yeastie notes as well. Light-bodied; Sharp funky malts dominate the flavour with some light wheat and more stale, biscuity-type malts showing through and a dash of fresh-cut grass and some stale or artificial sugars at the end. Aftertaste shows some softer and dry grassy notes with a dash of hay and flowers and not much else, aside from some light sugars, a hint of stale malt and funky yeast flavours. No real complexity here and just an easy-drinking, slightly off-putting flavour from the staler and funky ingredients here. Overall, not such a great beer and one that paired well enough with my [fast-foodish] tacos from Rubio's, but not worth buying or scouting out of course. I picked this one up, because I'd never seen it before and it was from Tijuana, and even though it's next door to San Diego, a few thousand miles away from my home. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle at Rubio's in San Diego, California on 30-December-2019 for US$4,50 while eating tacos about 20 miles from Mexico, but more than 2,000 from the East Coast.
