12 oz. can from H.E.B. Plus, Boerne, TX. Pours a dark cherry cola soda color with a small khaki head and poor retention. Zero lacing. Very faint caramel malt aroma, almost non-existent. Sweet caramel malt flavor. Definitely more caramel flavor than the aroma. Not much else going on. Thin, watery body. Almost enough carbonation. Zero bitterness. No bad flavors, but a bit lifeless overall. A bit disappointing.

I had a snifter from the tap at the brewery on a recent fall evening. The view of the brew was a clear, dark gold with plenty of white foam. The scent was yeast and yellow fruit. I tasted apricots, malt, white bread, pears, white bread, a touch of hops bitterness and meadow. Decent, a shot down the middle for tripels.

I found a 12 can at the most-visited HEB in town earlier today. Chilled fully and waiting for my ABGB glass, I open the can and pour. I view a fully clear, yellow liquid with a steadily recharged, wholly white cover of foam. The scent is grain, mostly corn. The taste is mostly standard for the style, sort of corny, water, grain and white bread. I think it will be better with a lime slice. Ah, it is.
