On tap at Clara Zetkin Haus in Stuttgart. Light gold, lasting head. Nice spicy nose. Lightly sweet, pretty one dimensional earthy hop flavor, but it's tasty enough. Decent traditional beer.

Bottle dredged from my cellar storage before I get to soldering the turret board wires of the latest amp (tomorrow!). Dark brown, small head, nose of rum in the air from popping the bottle. Sweet cane, molasses and candied plums, great nose. So smooth, very refined flavor with very well integrated flavors of rum, vanilla, and brown sugar. It has that rich je-ne-sais-quoi that I really love. Maybe the best Higgins I've had. D&mn did this age well!

Bottle purchased online, drunk watching the Mule on Foundation after quite some soldering of the M-Plex turret board leads of a Sunday evening. Lightly hazy orange gold, minimal head. Complex sour nose with stone fruit notes. Smooth acidity not overdone, big flavor, dry and very tasty geuze.

Bought in Tenerife. Drunk at home with red leicester cheese. Orange ish with thin head. Nice mild aroma of orange and coriander, but pretty faint. Flavor is thin bodied, light bitterness, citrusy and mild with a refreshing light acidity. It's alright, a mild Belgian Wit. If I had that many restaurant stars I'd be a bit disappointed if this was the best beer my people could come up with, but you could certainly drink several of them with a thousand euro meal without killing your palate.

Drunk at Taberna Caminero in Candelaria. Draft, I think? Dark brown, thin head, brown sugar nose that belies a big caramel-and-molasses flavor. Bready biscuits and pretty full bodied, not too complex but tasty, nice hop balance.

I haven't had one of these on a long time. It's really light and watery with the typical clear-bottle lightstruck Mexican lager taste. This time I've had it as a Michelada but I'm rating it based on past experience, not from this drink which was actually pretty tasty ;-)

Bottle from a Hiperdino supermarket on the east coast of Tenerife as I remember, drunk in Candelaria. Light hazy orange amber, super foamy, it's like a Belgian wheat head that just won't quit. Slightly funky nose, maybe fermenting in the bottle? Wasn't chilled at the store. Mild woody tea notes, slightly sour, quite dry: yeah this seems to be infected. At least it's not in a bad way, if it wasn't overcarbed it would pass for a wild yeast sour - but definitely no longer an APA. 06/27 stamped above the barcode, i think 2y expiration would be optimistic for any APA.

Drunk at Con Limón y Sal Caletillas after a trio of small tacos and a Michelada. Now we're trying some chili con carne nachos. Amber, small head, lightly caramel-malty and super cold. Tasty earthy hop finish. Pretty good as these lighter beers go.

Can drunk while walking around in Candelaria. Malty, light brown sugar-ish, it's mild wort soda. Slight hint of bitterness. Not great but not awful.
