Can (12/20/24) from Manchester Wine & Liquors. Opaque, cola brown with light sparkle, decent-sized, creamy head with excellent retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong lactose and vanilla, fruit, nutmeg and spice. Taste is strong lactose, vanilla, nutmeg, fruit, spice, coconut, late molasses. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Have never had a Coquito but this is certainly interesting. Unclear if 11 months muted this or not? Wonderful palate, excellent complexity and things work pretty well together.

Can from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Lightly hazy gold with no sparkle, no head, no lacing. Aroma is wheat, mild fruit, hint of clove and vanilla. Taste is strong wheat; other aspects are lacking. Average-to-lively carbonation, finish as taste. A light wheat beer but lacking the most interesting advertised aspects.

16 oz can. Date of can: 07/02/25. It is Supa Fresh!! Aroma of tangerine, mild melon, and soft vanilla like hint. Wow. The flavor is exactly as the flavor. It’s sweet, but not overly sweet. The alcohol is totally hidden. Zero bitterness. Drinks WAY lighter than the 9.1 %. This is nice!

Darker bronze-copper-apricot. Small, off-white head. Heavy haze.
Heavy, yet authentic apricot in both the nose and the flavor. Really a shame that they've overdone it, because the fruit is lovely. But it's hard to get at much of anything else here. Good texture, not too sweet, some hop spice and light bitterness. Clean.

Brewery draught, 5/24/25.
Heavily hazy, bright golden-maize. Small, white head.
Subtle spice in the nose with straightforward citrus and mango softness. Round, clean, with honey and white bread notes from the malt. Not overly aromatic.
Soft, juicy, maybe a touch in the sweet and under bittered side, but clean and with no heavy pine/spruce or earth from the Galaxy. Mostly round citrus.

Brewery draught, 5/24/25.
Heavily hazy, golden-maize. Small, white head.
A bit oniony. Definite spice from both hops but I'm not in love with how this brewery does Mosaic. Sparse cracker from malt and otherwise clean.
Again clean and with sparse, cracker-like malts leaving a bit too light of a body. Heavy spice, some of it oniony but other enjoyable flavors in there too.

As pictured.
Clean yeast with light mineral and subdued fruit. Bit of spice from hop and good graininess from something like six row maybe? Clean, not super aromatic.
Excellent flavor with ample bitterness, good grainy texture and a light but ample body. Dry, clean, well-hopped with slight corn accents.
