STANKY ASS ALE THAT PUCKS YOU WITH A NICE GRAPEFRUIT PROFILE THAT QUICKLY DISSAPEARS AND LEAVES A LIGHTLY STRAW AND STANKY MALT W/CARAMEL TASTE THAT GIVES YOU THE BUZZ AND WOULD MAKE ANY HOP OR ALEHEAD HARDPRESSED TO WALK AWAY. THE PLAY GOING ON HERE IS DIFFERENT BUT AT THE SAME TIME A GOOD BREWDEMON’S GROG. NICE JOB HERE! SMOKEY CARAMEL.

Tap. Light clear orange pour. Caramel and dust on the nose and taste. Pretty thin and uninspired.

Has a slight goldish/brown color to it with pretty minimal carbonation. The head retention was pretty good, somewhat thin, but stayed around for a while. The taste and aroma was bland, but had very subtle hints of hops and barley.

Poured clean and golden with no head (could have been because of bad service) didn’t really smell like anything tasted crisp with a fruitty taste hidden as well

Tap. Aroma has notes of caramel malts with floral hops. Golden amber hue with an average sized white head that mostly diminished. Flavor is sweet malts up front with a medium bitterness on the finish. Palate is medium bodied and soft. Not a bad brew but could use some work.

...draft at "brewpub". Better than the wheat, but still a very poor attempt. decent color, but no head, or flavor. Slight hop notes on the nose, a tiny hint of citrus, and a slightly malty finish with a weird aftertaste. The people in Key West must not care what thier beer tastes like, or this is just a drunken tourist trap.

(Draft @ Kelly’s, Key West, FL): Pours a reddish brownish color. Smallish whitish head, lasting. Not very goldeny. Malty, hoppy aroma. Hoppy grapefruity taste, malty. Some nutiness. Somewhat bitter finish. A little unbalanced.

Draft at brewpub. Poured a hazy brown color with a moderate fizzy off-white head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Medium malty and hop aroma. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Better drinkable brew.

Draught at Kellys Caribbean Bar & Grill & Brewery, Key West. Deep golden color, offwhite head. Hoppy, fruity, grassy aroma. Hoppy, soapy flavor, grassy. Not a great beer, but stil lrefreshing on a hot day in Key West.

On tap-listed as IPA. Dark gold with a small white head. Fresh citrus, hoppy aroma. Pretty bitter, with lots of grapefruit and floral hop flavors and the expected bitter finish. No real malt taste, almost an exact opposite of their Havana Red.
