Bottle still hanging around from ABQ. Black with a creamy, beige head. Licorice aroma with a touch of ash. Taste is roasted and metallic bitter with a whisper of tartness. Body to the full side of medium, mild carbonation. Harsh at the end with a lot of undisguised booziness. Drinkable but not a lot of fun.

Juicy fruity tropical and citrus hits, touch of strata induced berry, sweet malty backbone, solid hoppy close. Lovely hazy cask action.

16 oz. can. Pours a murky, yellow color, with a thin, fizzy, off-white head. The nose is guava, grass clippings, orange peel, butterscotch, and pine sap. Sweet and fruity, with a dank, sticky bitterness. Medium body, musty, and oddly slick. Interesting, but strange.

16 oz. can. Pours a murky, reddish-brown color, with a medium, foamy, beige head. The nose is caramelized sugar, orange juice, vanilla, coriander, and pineapple. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, grainy bitterness. Just a touch tart. Medium body, crisp, and a bit sticky. Easy, fun, and balanced.

Taster at the Bridges taproom. Pours a hazy, red color, with a small, off-white head. The aroma is blackberry, lemon, star fruit, and peach. Sweet and fruity, with a mild, juicy, tartness. Light, acidic, and clean. Bright and simple, but tasty.
