Pint can. One of the most amazing labels ever. Lovely. Pours a slightly hazy orange hue with a medium white head. A big pulpy core, mango, lemon zest. Very flavorful, smooth, husky malts. Solid.

On tap at Wander, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Nose is very dank, with herbal, pot-like hops dominating. Flavour is similar, with lots of dank hops, a herbal character and biscuity malt out back. Very bitter and assertive, with a rather high carbonation. A little abrasive in both respects. Not bad.

Can, courtesy of riversideAK, pours with a clear gold body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up tangerine hard candy, grassy hops, candied floral hops and then a slightly out of place malty sort of caramel note. That out of place note faded more and more as the beer breathed. The taste delivers nice smooth modest level of tangerine, cantaloupe, pineapple and tangelo fruity juiciness. Behind the flavor hops is a thin layer of bitter citrus hoppiness. Well in the background the sweet bready malt bill is not working so well with the hops.

16 oz can poured. Wander jumping in on the can game. I love it! Maybe they already were, and I’m missing out, but it’s at least news to me as of now. Hopefully a trend is beginning. IPA’s like this belong in tall cans. Delicious. Shiny golden pour with a patchy foam head. A huge splash of hops upon ripping this can open. Flavor is a juicy pineapple constant, Slightly sweet, but more noticeably refreshing. A subtle grassyness with the hop profile, and lingers late. Tropical fruit lead role. Has a vanilla like oat to it as well, that pairs very well with the fruit content. A very satisfying beer here. I hope I haven’t seen the last of it.
