Captain Fatty's Mambo
Hazy light gold with a thin white head. Delicious aroma of mango and hoppy resins and pale malt. Smooth bright and fluffy flavor that’s clean and mango-riffic, with some floral bitterness and full pale malt body.

Lightly hazy light straw golden with a thin foamy white head. Brisk acidic and gently salty aroma with cucumber and maybe a kiss of dill. Crisp dry body that’s briney and lightly acidic with big cucumber. Lingering acidity.

Can from K&L Wines in Redwood City. Hazy golden color. Strong initial kettle sour aroma, with hints of acetic acid, which hides the Medium light cucumber aroma. Medium plus acidity, giving the impression of high dryness. A bit unbalanced.

Captain Fatty's Chisme
17th December 2021. Sat alone at my daughters place in Laguna Hills, California. Everyone else has gone out to see a Christmas Light Show at some farm near Irvine, I'm full of cold (not Covid-19), so decided to stay in and not frighten people by blowing my nose and coughing. What better way to brighten up my evening than by having a shitty Mexican style lager? At least the brewery is a new tick for me! 12Fl Oz can into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass, huge billowing white head, slight haze to the old gold coloured body. Dry tasting with a grainy front, back and sides (Maize I suppose). My throat liked it, even if my senses didn't.

Good hops and soft malts on the nose, has nice brown body with good foam. Flavour is modest foam and vague caramel. Mouthfeel is okay. This isn't bad but there's not much to remember it by.

I had the pleasure of tasting their Vortex IPA. Really was one of the best ive had in a while. The Russian River guys may have a new CA competitor in a few years. You really can taste the difference of using local ingredients which I hear they do.
