If I were stuck on a desert island with kegs of this stuff and a beautiful woman, I’d kill her so she wouldn’t drink the beer...it’s that good.

At the brew pub in vista ca, nice fresh malty aroma and some sweet flavor on the palate, great hoopy bitterness that did not overcome the brew. Very cool brew

On-tap at Vista location. Pours dark red/brown with a moderate sized, offwhite head. Smells dark fruity malty sweet. Tastes malty red fruit sweet with some hops, sweet. Medium body, crisp carbonation.

Copper red with fizzy white head. Faint caramel aroma. Sweet caramel taste with toffee notes some roastiness and dry finish.
