Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a faint, single centimetre tall, pure white head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of soft citrus, a splash of grapefruit, mellow malt and sugars with a touch of very off-putting, almost stale hop notes that don't really show any signs of bitterness at all. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal notes show at first with a dry and floral component, some flowers, a mellow citrus (oranges/pomelo) flavour and a hint of alcohol comes through at the very end, but very mild throughout and not really showing much. Aftertaste is soft as well, with only a faint dose of malt, grain, citrus and the strongest - some soft and underwhelming hops that don't really add any bitterness or flavours, just show through as dry, herbal flavours. Overall, an interesting and fairly underwhelming beer throughout with some decent flavours, but nothing in terms of anything that you'd want to have, in comparison with other beers in this style. I'm not sure what 'cold-brewed' is aside from Coors, and I don't think you want to try it. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased just eight days ago at Downtown Spirits in Seattle, Washignton [state] on 07-February-2020 for US$4,49 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in Pungoteague, Virginia on 15-February-2020.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated November 26, 2019. Aroma is clean and malt forward with nice grain notes. Faint floral esters and light woodsy hop notes. Pours a brilliantly clear, golden color with a medium large, thick, fluffy white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Flavor has a medium light sweetness with moderate malt notes. Medium light bitterness and faint herbal hop notes. Light floral esters. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer with a great, clean malt profile. Fermentation was also really clean with just a bit of floral esters.

16oz can thanks to santa doug pours out crisp clean straw topped with a white head. Nose is light cereal malt grassy floral hops. Taste is more of the nice grassy floral hops some wheat and cereal touch.

16 oz can, enjoyed as I am quickly running out of the lot of cans I picked up when Wayfinder first showed up here in Seattle. Awesome! I've enjoyed the beers at the brewery during my few visits, and this one might be the best one yet. Intriguing style here. Always on board with a hoppy lager, a cold IPA caught my eye instantly. Aroma is a subtle citrus peel, inviting for sure. Sharp carb, grapefruit bite up front. Semi aggressive IPA, moderate bitter, refreshingly cool citrus taste that lingers. Love the can, the aroma, the flavor. Solid beer all around.

16 ounce can. Pours a clear dark amber color with a large white head. A big malty sweet nose, a bit like a Oktoberfest. Smooth, caramel, some floral notes, earthy, something almost spicy like rye. Very flavorful, actually really good.
