Draft at the brewpub. Yellow pour with a slight haze and small head, large bubbles. Mostly grain, light touch of fruit, lightly sweet, and a bit of grassy hops. Very mild and I found it uninteresting. Mouthfeel is pretty rough for being so light in body. I would not order this again.

This is a pretty good beer. A nice bubbly head, the malts and flavor begin real slow in this. While the body is plain, the finish is incredibly complex. First some hops, then dryness, then almost a spicy bubblyness, followed by another light hop. Pretty good; I probably need to drink a full one to analyse this more clearly, but the El Perro Diablo was too good.
