Both times I've ordered a pint of this beer I've been asked: "Have you had it before?"
Served with a tan head at about one inch, this depletes quickly leaving a few bubbles in a ring around the top of a mahogany brown brew. Lots of highlights around the edges of the clear body.
The nose is fairly aromatic and inviting, with a strong note of grain husk with a bunch of dark fruit behind it: plum, fig, you name it.
The flavor is shockingly different, although perhaps the sensory cues aren't so different. Still lots of dark fruit, reminiscent of grape fruit (a quality I've noticed in other darker Papago beers, most notably the Sledgehammer), but it's overshadowed by an extremely puckering vinegar character. Unfortunately, this is the driver of the experience.
The beer reminds me of a very sour iced coffee. Interesting and unusual, but not necessarily delicious.
The body is overly thin, with the flavors ripped away by sour, dry, carbonated forces except in the deepest crevices of the mouth. I really enjoy sour ales, but this one took the vinegar to the extreme and I don't think I'd want two in a row.
