16oz can. Poured a bright golden-orange color with a small white head. Aroma was light herbal notes, some mild lemon, funky notes. Easy to drink. I didn't get a whole lot of tamarind, but that's fine. The beer was tasty.

Actually works pretty well for an IPA. Just as guapo as the guy on the bottle. Agave integrates pretty well. Golden pour with decent head. Very bitter finish. Bottle.

Clearish copper coloured body with a thinnish, two centimetre tall off-white haed. Aroma of deep and very pungent hop bitterness with some grass and very perfumey notes thrown in the mix as well. Light-bodied; Super grassy flavour with a big heavy hit of grain and funk with a touch of sugars, but nothing else and very mild. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very herbal and astringent hop flavours showing through at first, but the malts are definitely there from an overt and bitter back flavour from funk and grain that finishes in more flavours. Aftertaste is mildish, but also that great flavour that shows all the sides the complexities interwined with raising kids and producing good, high quality beers. Overall, an acceptable beer at this stage with a lot of hops and only a touch of the malts in the mix here, but a lot of funk and even more with alcohol is noticeable here. I sampled this tall twelve ounce bottle purchased from Food LIon in Onley , Virginia on 27-January-2018 for US$1,67 sampled at homein Washington on 31-March-2018.

22oz bottle. Poured a hazy amber color with a small medium sized white head. Aroma was very mild cinnamon, malty, with some mild apple character. Flavor was more like apple pie than the aroma. Mild cinnamon, with some apple.

$2.70 pint can from Wine Warehouse. Pours golden-orange with a large, soft gold head. Aroma is dust, tangerine, lemon, a bit of funk. Flavor is tart fruit, Indian spices (I suppose that's the tamarind), tangerine, lemon zest, yeast. Very interesting. Enjoyable.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, thick rich brown head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of roasted malt, tons of lactose, milk, cream, earth, grain, raisins, figs and a heavy dose of coffee, naturally. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasty flavours with some toast, prunes, raisins, earth, lactose, grain and even a bit of smoked peat in the flavour as well, slightly thin on the finish. Aftertaste shows mostly a deep coffee, cacao (~80%) note with some roasted malts, a touch of the anise bitterness on the end, but more of a deep, bittering flavour that makes this not easy to sample a large format easily, over time. Overall, a decent beer with some good brewed coffee and toasted malt notes with a faint hint of sugars noticeable early on but fade fairly quickly. A bit of peanut butter and grain along with some anise, deep rye and oameal along with canela and a slightly spicy-ier flavour from chiles and perhaps something else added to the mix. I sampled this thirty two ounce crowler at home in Washington, Dominion Wine & Beer in Falls Church, Virginia on 31-January-2018 for US$11,99 sampled at home in Washington, just three days later on 03-February-2018.

Fairly hazy golden and orange coloured body with a nice, three to four centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of coriander seed, corn, light grain, yeast, candy sugar, a bit of flowers and some moderate breadiness. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours with a yeast and coriander seed flavour showing some subdued sweetness with oranges and curacao noticeable with a very light spicy quality with nutmeg around the edges. Aftertaste is smooth and relatively mild with the yeast, coriander seed freshness and wheat the most noticeable and a bit of the sugars showing on the finish. Overall, a decent and very mild beer with some light sweetness and mellow complexity. Nice to try and a good beer that I could imagine would be very refreshing here on the shore in the middle of Summer! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Harris Teeter in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 23-January-2018 for US$1,83 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in Pungoteague, Virginia on 26-January-2018.
