12 oz. can purchased at Total Wine & Liquor in Colorado Springs, CO. Pours a super dark blood red color with a small beige head and fair retention. Zero lacing. Faint dark fruit aroma. Very subtle raspberry and burned malts flavor. Very flat mouthfeel and a short finish. A unique flavor profile that I kinda like, but can't really tell you why.

12 oz can from Total wine. whiel not normally a coffee beer guy, this one piqued my interest as it was a Top 50 beer for New Mexico. Dark brown with a beige head, clumpy lacing. Aroma features a nice blend of roast malts and coffee. Taste has the coffee a bit more prominent, but still the coffee bitterness blends nicely with the roast for a well balanced brew.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with very thin, single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of citrus, resin, pineapple, tropical fruits and a huge dose of flowers. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong herbal and grassy finishes make this robust, fairly strong and hoppy with a very bitter bite and a strong alpha acid kick towards the end with a light alcohol bite as well. Aftertaste shows a lot of hoppy and very bitter characteristics from the resin and citrus fruits with a touch of malt and more assertive alcohol and bitter components with some good sweetnss from the fruits hitting on the back end. Overall, a nice and fruit-based IPA with a ton of bitterness and flavours from the hops with a good resin and grassy finish that has a noticeable alcohol bite at the very end, but closer to a West Coast IPA than other beers from this area. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in San Antonio (Selma), Texas on 14-October-2019 for US$1,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Austin, Texas on 14-October-2019 just a few hours later.
