December 11th, 2013 - Thorn St.'s Agave Ale was an attractive option as I looked up upon Coin-Op's menu. I'd practically been drinking agave syrup over the last few weeks, decorating my yogurt with it to make a palatable dessert. And as soon as the beer was poured I began to see some similarities, especially in color, though not in clarity. The aroma is lightly hopped, with some of those sweet caramel notes, and, alas, no real agave, though I suppose the scent might be sweeter than one would expect otherwise. The body is medium in weight, and quickly rushes the tongue with toasted grains and cinnamon, with a slightly sweeter aftertaste. The palate comes across as a bit flat, given all the zesty sweet-spice, but the hops is nonetheless pronounced and active. Again, no agave here, but more than that, this brew falls a little flat, both in the mouthfeel and the overall experience.

Clear dark amber brownish color in the pint shaker. Some grainy aromas. Average carbonation.
This starts out with some pleasant malty warmth with a sweet touch. Maybe it's the agave syrup. Also some dark roast malt and caramel flavors. A little winey and a little scratchy in the back of the throat. A tangy aftertaste. Reasonably drinkable if you like the maltier style, but I am not being convinced that agave is a good additive to beer from the several I've had.
On tap at the brewpub. Between the chalkboard, the printed beer list, and the website, it's a little informal as to what a particular batch is called. The ABV seems to vary between 5.6 and 6.2.
