ElGaucho (1721), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Aug 8, 2006 Sweet malt aroma with promises of higher alcohol. Cloudy orange with an off-white, lasting head. Some lace. Spritzy carbonation. Tastes stronger than 8% ABV. Doesn’t hide its alcohol well. A bit one-dimensional, but still good and enjoyable. I drank half of it on a hot rooftop deck so it had warmed considerably by mid-glass. At that point I could take it or leave it.
