12 ounce can from Whole Foods Santa Fe Carillo, 1/22/22. Hazy gold thin fizzy white head, good retention. Aroma of corn, pale malt, hint of lime. Maybe reminding me of a Mexican lager. Taste is doughy malt, corn, stone fruit, citrus. Simple but oddly complex. Moderate bitterness. Nice.

We bought a 16 oz pour at at a hamburger joint on San Francisco St. in Santa Fe today. A crisp, bright gold, it went well with the Hatch chiles on the French fries we had. Lemon, grain, a bit of apricot, it was served very cold which only made it better. A decent Kolsch.

12oz can from Total Wine-Uptown. Dark muddy brown pour with a small beige head. Roast malt aroma with hints of chocolate and whiskey barrel. Taste continues in this vein with more chocolate and bigger accents from the barrel. Smooth.
