Tap. Pours opaque black, medium tan head, dissipates quickly, nice residual and lacing. Aroma is sea air, dish water. Flavor is roasty, salty, grainy, very light sour, coffee. Medium body. Much better than aroma would imply.

Sampled at Ben’s Tune Up - pretty late at night. Lighting was all over the place, so I can’t really say what the appearance was of this one. Aroma was light tropical notes, pineapple and a touch of jalapeno fruit notes - not a lot of heat. Flavor was light jalapeno, with pineapple, alcohol and rice finish. Slight heat, but nothing overpowering. Interesting.

Sampled at Ben’s Tune Up - pretty late at night. Lighting was all over the place, so I can’t really say what the appearance was of this one. Aroma was light cucumber water, touch of sake rice notes, light booze. Strawberry is effeminately there. Flavor was light strawberry notes, some light berry and cucumber comes through towards the end of the sip. Pretty refreshing for being 12%.
