On tap @ District Tap House. This has to be a nitro. At lest theres a really good looking nitro creamy beige head on this. The beer itself is dark dark brown and impossible to see through. It smells nothing else than chocolate cakes. Wow! Like smelling a chocolate cake straight from the fridge. Never had that much chocolate in a beer before, or at least that I can remember. Brownies. This is absolutely an amazing amazing aroma. Totally wild. What an amazing tasting beer this is. Theres oh so much chocolate cake and brownies in this. A ton of mocha coffee also. Its nitro mild and almost velvety on the texture really smooth. It tastes like you want a chocolate glaze to taste. Absolutely fantastic! Totally sold on this one. 13.06.2015

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours transient white head, hazy/translucent gold color. Aroma has a hint of fruit, and malt that might be the pale sort. Not quite med body. Flavor does have a fruit/citrus touch in a mild way, and the breadiness is actually tolerable. More flavor than most South of the Border pale lagers, but not enough to make it very enjoyable. Needs spicy food to disguise the taste.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a bright yellow color with a huge foamy white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was faint with some yeast and grain. The flavor was faint yeast and grain. Medium length finish. Light body. Not much to it.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is orange juice with some caramel apple. Flavor is kind of a muddled mess of caramel malt, bitter orange and marmalade. Nothing was bad about the flavor it just all did not really go together all that well. No hops made a presence so that was a problem. While not horrible I could not recommend this fruit IPA.
