On tap at Second Chance, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of oily, dank, piney hops, some resins and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is oily, dank and piney in the hop department, with just enough dry biscuity malt. Piney and oily finish. Really nice hop expression.

On tap at Second Chance, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of earthy coffee grounds that meld with the piney hops in a way that's reminiscent of diacetyl. Flavour is a little better but still not harmonious, with earthy coffee grounds, subdued piney hops, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Not too happy with the addition of coffee in here. It's alright but not exactly well-calibrated.

On tap at Second Chance, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle dank hops and slightly sweet biscuity malt. Flavour is dank and herbal, with a pot-like, herbal hop character, and some oily resins. Too herbal and pot-like, without depth and a clean palate. It's alright.

Aromas are dark and caramel malts some toast. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose with a lot more going on. A little more bitter than sweet and balanced with just right carbonation. Add in some nutmeats, toffee. Kind of like an ale version of an old fashioned traditional Oktoberfest/Marzen.

If it wasn't on the label, I'd never associate gummies and this beer. Aroma is tart and fruity, some yeast. Flavors are similar to nose, tart and fairly dry. A bit of sweet in the finish. It's okay.

Shoer goblet at the source. Clear amber, bright, medium gold. Sharp, rich toast, decent acid, boring middle, toasty rich crust finish. Lime, oats, dusty toasty sharp, whatever beer. Just okay. A bit boring.

Goblet pour at the source. Clear, very amber, basic tea. Cranberry apple box juice, some cherry pith, mostly cheap grapes, sulfites & pedestrian filler. Taste is generic, artificial gummies & apple box juice, with lingering cranberry & oak. Dry, lemon tea, basic tea tannins. Flat. Bleh.
8/8/25: Tried again while in Chula Vista with my wife.
Moatlvxlear, peachy plum pour, soapy lace.
Smell is Skittles & confectionary, maybe some extra cherry.
Taste is apple-cherry juice box& melted Skittles. Thinned out but pretty much what you would expect.
Frothy, fizzy, thin, confectionary.
Nostalgic yet forgettable.

On tap at the source, same base as the OG Porter. Goblet, russet, deep dark amber. Weak oatmeal head. Toast and strong coconut flake scent. Obvious cocoa, cola, cola acidity, faint toast. Lingering watery coffee. Super thin & boring. Zzzz...
