La Cumbre Brewing Co.

Pours a cloudy honey orange with two fingers of foamy head that slowly settles to a thin cap with plenty of lacing. Aroma of pineapple and orange with a trace of pine. Taste follows nose. On the thick side.

 

Pours out a pineapple juice color; opaque in the glass; long-lasting head, white and dense texture. Explosion of tropical fruit smells; pineapple, grapefruit, lemon, tangerine. Citrus tanginess and sharp bitterness roar onto the palate; harsh grapefruit and reconstituted lemon juice taste; phenolic bitterness. Medium body; sharp and piercing on the tongue; biting alcohol burn.

It is too bad the taste didn't match up with the immediate tropical fruit aroma. The harsh, biting bitterness overtakes the rest of the beer.

Poured into a Tree House glass a pretty nice cloudy pale yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, papaya, nectarine, apricot, guava), very nice diesel like. The taste is very nice hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, mango, peach, papaya, nectarine, apricot, guava), very nice diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very nicely, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a very tasty beer. Orange Julius! Addictive! MilkShake!

Pours cloudy golden in color with minimal head.
Pineapple and guava notes.
Guava and passionfruit is what I'm getting.
Medium-high feel, low carbonation.
There is some Cactus in here somewhere I'm guessin.
