Arcana Brewing Company

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!

Porter - 6% ABV

     Really damn good porter. Light body and tastes of spiced dark chocolate.

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

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.

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

     This is awesome. Tiny bit of fruit and a nice light honey flavor.

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.

     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.
