Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up floral to pine to some thin maltiness. The taste delivers a firm degree of rich floral hops flowing into a bit of bitter pine hops and some woodiness. Behind the hops are modest layers of sweet almost bready maltiness. Decent.

Easily my favorite Albuquerque brewery, it makes me happy to find one of their beers I have not tried. The 16 oz can in my hand was located at the Santa Fe Total Wine. I have a old school bar glass with a handle next to me and make the pour. It comes out a vibrant orange-yellow with a stout head of pure white foam. Right to the taste, wheat, yeast, some yellow fruit and a touch of spices. Another fine offering from my home state.

Draft at La Cumbre. Medium amber pour, clear, small persistent head. Nice hoppy dank aroma. Taste, as expected, also falls squarely on the hops, big and bold and bracing.

Draft at brewery. Hazy, milky pour, light creamy head. Citrusy aroma, grassy, earthy, light dank. Taste is more of the citrusy, tropical fruity notes with the NS hops adding a funky vibe. Slight twist on the style.
