Commercial Description:
Richly malty and long on the palate, with just enough hop backing to make this beautiful amber colored "alt" style beer notably well-balanced.

From Juneua to the Sahar in Las vegas and back to Winnipeg. What a small world. Finally solved the mysterey of this beer being labeled Paco’s at the Sahara. Liked this one a lot. Would have it again (just in smaller quantities)

Poured a very solidly amber color with very little carbonation and no head retention other than a scant ring of bubbles remaining around the glass. Very sweet malty aroma, a bit of caramel and brown sugar, a hint of dried fruits (raisins, dates). Similarly sweet malty, slightly acidic/fruity, a hint of caramel, brown sugar, and a bit of hops (but not much). Very rich flavors for a lower gravity beer. The mouthfeel is soft, sweet, a bit fuzzy from the carbonation, and pretty dry and clean at the finish. Overall this is a beer with some imperfections, but still solidly drinkable and enjoyable.

Pourns amber into the glass with a small white head. Aroma is clean biscuit/caramel malt with minimal hop character. Very clean malt flavor with just enough bitterness to counteract the sweetness. Very smooth and drinkable.

Bottle. Reddish copper color with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet, fruity and caramel. Wheat and nutty flavors and definitiely sweet. A little bit of bitterness. Thin and carbonated. Wheatlike aftertaste, almost like an oat cereal taste. Not one of my favorite syles, but this is drinkable.

A real beauty. Has a great coloring, and a pretty good head. Goes down smooth, and is pretty sweet.

Hops and malt come together in a harmonious blend in the nose. A bit on the maltier side up front, quite creamy smooth for an amber. Medium/heavy mouthfeel was a pleasant surprise. Quite nice

12 oz bottle.
Pours a clear dark amber color with a large 2" head. Head settles slowly and leaves spotty lacing.
Aroma is sligty caramel, with some light graininess.
Body is light.
Flavor is lightly sweet, caramel, toffee with just a sint of hops to keep the sweeness in check.
Overall an easy drinking sesion beer.
