mcberko Profile

On tap at PBC, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma is full of rotting passionfruit, armpits, ugh. Flavour is less offensive, with sweet passionfruit, sugar, and a touch of weird rotting funkiness. Not egregious, but doesn’t seem well dialled in.

3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 2 Flavor 2 Texture 3 Overall 3.5

On tap at PBC, pours a cloudy bright orange amber with a small white head. Aroma is full of mixed fruit, like a slightly rotting fruit punch, but at least not a sugary one. Flavour is rather rotting, with mixed fruit punch, sugars, and rotting notes. This doesn’t seem right.

2.2/10 — Setting 3 Selection 1 Service 5 Food Value 1 Overall 1

This must've been one of the top 10 worst breweries I've visited in my life. Very close to La Rana Dorada and 3 Gatos, they had 7 beers on tap. I asked if they did flights (degustacion), and the guy poured me very generous beers of all beers. 3 of the beers were fruit beers, all egregious -- rotting, BO-like, putrid beers with all sorts of issues. The other 4 -- more conventional styles -- all had serious issues that made them all totally undrinkable. I left a few bucks' worth of a tip and bailed when I could. Save your palate from a nightmarish experience.

La Rana Dorada (Cangrejo)

5/10 — Setting 5 Selection 4 Service 5 Food Value 5 Overall 6

British-style pub near many other brewpubs around here. 6 beers on tap. "Flights" available but, like many places here and other adjacent countries, that's just a ~1 oz free taste of all beers so you can order a bigger beer. Half pints and pint available ($4/$6, or $2.50/$4 during happy hour). Beers were profoundly average, with no stand-outs. Service is a bit slow but fine. Not a standout, but there's much worse here.

IPA from La Rana Dorada

5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 5 Overall 5

On tap at La Rana Dorada, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some grassy hops, biscuity malt, and straw. Flavour is bitter but doesn’t really bring out a good hop expression; there’s reasonably balance, just not great expression. Meh.

Pale Ale from La Rana Dorada

6.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7

On tap at La Rana Dorada, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma has some English bready malt, gentle hoppy bitterness, and a hint of toffee. Flavour is decidedly English in malt expression, with subdued floral hops, and a dry, toffee-like finish. Clean and reasonably brewed.
