On tap at La Cumbre - West, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out caramel malt, resinous hops, and bready malt. Flavour is rich and assertive, with resinous hops and toasted caramel malt in expert balance. Old school style done wonderfully. That resinous hop bitterness combines beautifully with the caramel malt, leaving a dry, hoppy and yet sticky finish. Excellent.

On tap at La Cumbre - West, pours a clear dull piss yellow with a small white head. Aroma is crisp, with piney hops, some dankness and crisp biscuity malt.

On tap at La Cumbre - West, pours an opaque milky yellow with a small white head. Nose is full of chalk and clouded up oats, with subdued dank hops. Flavour is just chalk galore — how is this rated so well? Chalky and muddled. This isn't good.
