On tap at Second Chance, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle, oily, piney hops and a dry biscuity malt base. Flavour is dry and piney, with a nice pine cone hop character and dry biscuity malt base. Clean, piney and dry. Simple but well-made.

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.

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.
