Bought this 16oz can in a random bar while walking around Temecula on Easter Sunday, 5th April 2026. Broached at our Air B&B in Fallbrook after a day wandering around the San Diego Safari Park (it's bloody huge), 6th April 2026. Really looked forward to this, thought it was going to be something special. Sadly it failed to excite and didn't do it for me. Poured a clean and clear dark amber, no head, even when poured robustly. All seemed a bit flat and old, semi sweet and a slight date like flavour, but overall it was a mess, what a pity (it wasn't cheap)!
