Logs for this venue
A light, sweet, not too tart blueberry opening with sweet honey wheat notes. Juice-like with some cereal. Hides its strong (10+%) alcohol really, dangerously well. Glad it comes in a schooner, and for a great cause! ♀
Draft
Light, hoppy blonde. The aftertaste to me tasted like celery seed, and I just couldn't get past that.
Draft
An odd experience in that it tastes considerably better if you chug it. Otherwise it tastes like hop juice with no real body.
Draft
Coriander-heavy wit with good wheat flavor and subtle citrus tang. Nothing exciting, but pretty good.
Draft
Subtle strawberry-hopped aroma. Luckily out doesn't taste strongly of strawberries, the fruit flavor comes out as a thin aftertaste like as if eating strawberry leaves gets you some strawberry flavor. Tangy finish. Middling body.
Draft
Clean, lager-like cereal flavor, with some fruity hop juice character as counterpoint. Dry, bitter finish. Quite tasty, I thought!
Draft
Thick, puree like appearance, but it feels a lot lighter in practice. Flavor is more grapefruit than strawberry, with a strong pithy bitter finish.
Draft
Good, tart sour. Just light and effervescent otherwise, no highlights that I can detect.
I'll note, the scent is almost pure sourdough. Which is somewhat odd.
Draft
Um. Very disturbing. But it happened to catch me in a transitional phase so I'll just say that it's the tyranny of evil men and I'm a 9mm.
Draft
Oh, yum. Basic Dragonstooth with well-integrated whiskey and barrel flavors. Like the Dragonstooth itself, it's much lighter than you'd expect from a barrel aged imperial stout with a slight acidity in the flavor and a clean finish.
Draft
Very dry flavor, almost overtly sour, with some India rubber-like peppery overtones. It's not terrible, but the weirdness makes it suffer badly in comparison to the other dark beers in this flight.
Nitro Draft
Nice roast malt flavor. Too thin? Too thick!? Usually in a porter you're afraid of what you'll get, but this was neither - perfect mouthfeel. Flavor is good but nothing remarkable, but who cares? It does what it does, and very well.
Draft
It's not watery, but it's a one-note bitter pilsner. The main thing it did was make me enjoy the Hombre even more.
Draft
I guess this is the house beer at Poquitos? Good cereal body with a slightly sweet corn flavor. Light in flavor, but with a rounded tang at the end that was quite appealing. And the fact that it wasn't watery automatically makes it better than any other Mexican lager I've ever had.
