Bright gold with two fingers of head that leave massive amounts of lacing behind. Smells piney and fruity with mainly grapefruit. Stinging carbonation. Sweet fruity creamy bitter piney and floral.

Canned 10/31/18, 'LA NINA, LA PINTA, Y LA SANTA MARIA'.

Hazy golden pour, super cloudy and with a nice finger length of head that sits on top. As it settles, a thin veil of lace follows slowly behind it.

Tons of grapefruit on the nose. Ripe ruby red, with a subtle balance of pithy hops on the back end that really compliments that citrusy backbone. Hints of stone fruit and a mild floral quality serve as quality undertones to the aroma.

Zesty citrus all the way. Grapefruit and lemon are strong in this one, with even a light acidity coming off. Immediately following these notes come the hops, floral, piney, bitter, and a great contrast to the initial citrusy burst. A very subtle malt bill on the backbone of this keeps all the components in check. This beer is very reminiscent to something I might have from Brouwerij West in San Pedro.

Soft, with a medium carb and juicy feel. Some slight residual stickiness, but this is one crushable beer. Aside from some lingering hop bitterness, the alcohol is masked pretty well.
