Faint sweet malt aroma. Hits the palate fairly mild, with a mix of caramel malt and hops. Finishes pretty cleanly with a hint of hops in the background.
Canned 5/13/2025, drank on 12/27/2025. Surprisingly still very tasty.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

Sharp hop aroma with a strong sweet malt aroma. No hop bite on the flavor, fills in quickly with a mild caramel malt flavor. Mild aftertaste.

4.5 out of 5 stars.
Dragoon Brewing Sonoran Amber
Nice bready aroma of clean malt with some caramel notes in the background. Crisp, but not bitter, bite that gets washed out by some slightly sticky caramel sweetness. Finished with a slight lingering malt and yeast sweetness. A little too much residual sweetness.

Supernatural Brewing Altered States
Almost no aroma. Very little taste, a bit of caramel malt. Carbonation seems low, maybe they’re calling sure to quarantine, but not really carbonated canning. Might be a very different beer if well carbonated.
3 out of 5 stars.

No aroma. Full malt flavor with a roasty hint on the back end. Finishes with a smooth slightly roasty, nutty malt flavor.

Very roasty malt taste. Fairly clean taste, but too smoky for me.
