Description
At Traveler Beer Company we expand what craft beers can be by adding new flavors and discovering old traditions. We discovered the shandy tradition in Europe and are thrilled to bring this unique style of beer home, to you. Shandys exemplify everything we look for in a craft beer—they are different from the mainstream, fun, inviting, and social, and thanks to the finest ingredients, shandys taste amazing.

12 oz. bottle, hazy bright yellow color, thin bubbles head. Aroma is fruity pineapple with wheat hiding underneath. Weak wheat beer base with a large amount of sugary pineapple purée. Mouthfeel is almost like they used oats. But I Know oats are not used in this. Somewhat drinkable, but really no reason to.

12oz bottle from AFH. Hazy dark orange. 1 finger white head. Well, it smells like pineapple juice. so it’s on spot for the bottle. Soft mouthfeel, clay-like, light, good body overall with a chalk or calcium like mouthfeel at the end like mouthwash. Pineapple, orange, sugar. hmmm

Hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish, fast-dying off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, fake sugars, a touch of malt, a hint of sour berries and way more bittered grapefruit - nice. Light-bodied; Strong bittering grapefruit and pungent citrus right behind along with very little else - no malt and no strength from anything else. Aftertaste shows bitter grapefruit, citrus, a bit of alcohol, a hint of metal and malt and not much else - a smooth easy to drink and slightly sweet beer/drink. Overall, a decent shandy with a definite grapefruit kick and bitterness, showing some sweetness and mellow citrus flavours with sugars and a hint of malt near the end, making this relatively easy-to-drink and citrusey but smooth. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle given to me by my brother-in-law on Christmas Day 2016, 25-December-2016 sampled at home in Washington on 05-January-2017 - Thanks Andy!

What has dah world come to? #cheapIPA? Looks like grapefruit juice. Tastes like somebody poured a bomber of IPA into a glass of grapefruit juice. IPA this, now IPA that. Go IPA BS figger. If you like grapefruit backbone IPA, try this, that’s what it is.In the end it does seems to have more alky than 5%. You know, perhaps I detect a hair of citrus tartness in the finish.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 8/2016. Pours very hazy golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big grapefruit juice, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pine, wheat, cracker, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical/pine hops, grapefruit, and moderate bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit juice, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pine, wheat, cracker, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/citrus rind bitterness and slight grapefruit tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit juice, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange rind, pine, wheat, cracker, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/pine hops, grapefruit, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and a slight lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately sticky/resinous, and creamy/bready balanced mouthfeel that is nice; slight grapefruit acidity as well. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.4%. Overall this is a nice IPA/Shandy hybrid style. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/pine hops, grapefruit, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Bottle drank at the hotel in NOLA - picked up at Walgreens in Arkansas. Pours hazy, matte gold with a creamy crown. The nose holds zesty lemon and lime, some pale bread. Moderately sweet, with more ple bread character, some hay, sugary lemon, ripe lemon, a little orange rind. Light bodied with average carbonation and massaging texture. Sweet, lightly sugary on the finish, with more sweet lemon, some grapefruit and tangerine. Nice shandy.
