La Quinta Brewing Co.

 

I had this beer on-tap in a pub glass at the La Quinta taproom in Palm Springs.

Appearance: medium golden-orange hue with a moderate haze and a finger of frothy ivory foam atop.

Smell: a bit of sweetness with a little citrusy note and a dash of tropicality thrown in the mix. So, mild, but nice enough.

Taste: moderately sweet with a slightly passionfruit-ey tropical hop note. It's not super complex, but it's not terrible.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: this beer isn't the worst hazy out there, but it's also nothing to write home about.

I am trying a pint of this beer off the tapper at the Palm Springs location. It poured a slightly hazy golden with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had tropical fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright malt base with bitter pineapple and apricot presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

Pours hazy, good fluffy head, lots of retention, almost no carbonation. Smells coming through the head are hoppy and a bit grapefruity. Tastes like bitter grapefruit and bitter hops, but, as the can says, not overly hoppy or too bitter; there's a leatheriness, too... Feels full bodied and kind of juicy.
