Carlsbad, CA Pete - I went here early on Friday afternoon. It's a quirky little place that has darts and offers flights. Wide array of styles, including mead!
Arcana Anna's Abuelita Porter - 6% ABV Pete Really damn good porter. Light body and tastes of spiced dark chocolate.

Arcana Bound for Burgandy Sour - 6% ABV Pete Nice tart and fruity sour. I don't get any specific fruits, but it's super refreshing either way.

Arcana Bound for Persica Sour - 8.5% ABV Pete Tart with pretty mellow fruitiness. Peach is the fruit that's in here, so it makes sense that it's mellow.

Arcana Caramel Craving Bochet Mead - 11.2% ABV Pete This is very obviously mead-y. Just tastes like honey, and it's freaking delicious.

Arcana Hazed & Confused New England IPA - 6.9% ABV Pete Very light body, which is a little off from the style, but it definitely has all the flavors you want. Citrus, some creaminess, and not bitter at all.

Arcana Marley's Ghost Winter Warmer - 8.5% ABV Pete Super super oaky with some maltiness in there too.

Arcana Rocinante Rye IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete Solid beer, but I wish it was a bit less malty. It certainly doesn't look like it's going to be malty, but it is.
