First of all, credit where credit is due... this place has a lot of potential. Lovely beer garden. Good music. Nice lighting, decor, and overall atmosphere. Service was very good. Attentive and friendly. No complaints. What was the problem? Unfortunately, it's the beer... I tried the Wild West IPA. It's certainly an attempt at an IPA, but it is as if someone watered it down. Claims to be 7.2% ABV, but I would be surprised if it was 4. Very disappointing, lacked taste and body. It was still happy hour, so I figured I'd give it one more shot. I got the American Amber. In a word, undrinkable. It's the first beer I've had in Ecuador that I couldn't actually finish. In fact, I only had 2 sips. I then paid my bill and left. I can't speak for the other beers on the menu (or the food for that matter), but I can say what I drank tonight was very disappointing.
