Curiously bold, this deep-golden ale brewed with a punchy blend of Talus, Mosaic, Citra, and Idaho 7 hops on a base of pilsner malt, rolled oats, and German malted wheat can make a welcome goal, naturally cold, waiting at the trail head for your return. As you crack into a can, don’t be surprised if you are visited by a plucky little grey bird. Tell Jay we say hi!

16 oz. can, pours an opaque peachy orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out lots of tropical stone fruits, juicy citrus, a bit of earthiness, and minimal chalk. Flavour is extremely juicy, with lots of tropical stone fruit, plenty of pithiness, citrus zest, earthiness, and a touch of chalk. Great juiciness, citrus, and balance, but still a bit too chalky. Very low bitterness -- I want more hops and dankness. Still, good.

22/II/23 - 1Pt. can from a trade, shared @ home, BB: n/a, canned: XII/14/22 (2023-175) Thanks to Zion for the trade!
Cloudy orange blond beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, a bit adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: oh my, very juicy, lots of tropical fruits, a little floral, nice, very intense, some mango, papaya, sugary impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, a bit resinous, dank and hoppy, more resinous, a little soapy, some alcohol. Aftertaste: hoppy, a bit resinous, citrus notes, very bitter, a bit malty, ok, decent enough!

Can. Pours a hazy orange hue with a medium white head. A big tropical nose, toast. Vanilla, quite malty, lemons, big punches of tropical notes. Nice.
