A new brew to me from Total Wine in Santa Fe. Several beers I have had now from Bow & Arrow, some good, some missing the mark. I think it is time to see what Southwesty does for me. The pint can is open and I lift into my Great Heights snifter. The appearance is a semi-clear pale yellow liquid topped by a small but persistent head of totally white foam. I smell hops and cut grass and a touch of citrus. The drink is similar, lemons, some grapefruit, white bread and a strong bitterness. Unfortunately nothing really carries this beer over the finish line ahead of anything else in the style.

This one pint can was discovered at the Santa Fe Total Wine a few weeks ago. Thoroughly cooled off it is ready to tilt inside of the substantial New Belgium globe glass, my first real tasting glass. An interesting enough view, I see a semi-hazy lemon rind yellow body finished by a steadily recharged head of ice white foam. The scent goes towards citrus along with a bit of tropical fruit. The taste mostly confirms this also. Grapefruit, tangerines, dry crackers, malt and just enough mango to notice. Sweet enough but I get more bitterness. One of the best beers I’ve had from the brewery which is Native American owned.

16 oz. can. Pours a clear, straw color, with a small, foamy, white head. The nose is straw, roasted corn, orange peel, coriander, and grass clippings. Fairly sweet, with a mild, resinous bitterness. Light, sticky, and crisp. Pretty nice.

Sampled from the tap at Lovecraft. Pours black with a with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges quickly. Aroma has dark grains, roasted malts and a bit of creamy peanut butter coming through. Flavor a nice roasted malt and peanut butter combination with sweet dark grains backing.

On tap at Kings Beer & Wine, pours a hazy pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is buggy, with a sort of fermented out honey character, rustic saison yeast, and light earthiness. Flavour is a bit muffled, with rustic saison yeast, earthiness, and low-level phenols. The wild yeast definitely hasn't permeated that well and there are low-level off-flavours I can't ignore. Not disastrous but needs cleaning up.
