On tap at Dove and Deer, Albany, NY.
Appearance: hazy burnt orange color with a bar pour's kind of slim white frothy head which settled off at a good pace then left some super light lace
Aroma: tangerine, grapefruit, lemon and an ever so slight honeydew-ish accent; super light on some bready malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes grapefruity and semi-sweet
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; nice low carb and some smoothness with nice low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nice to finally try some Wayward Lane and I hope to find more.

Canned 6/1/26, drunk 7/17/26.
Oh yeah, that smells phenomenal! As I'm pouring there's just mineral-rich, herbal hop pouring from the liquid. Soft, heathery florals and dainty honey-like malts complete the picture. Clean, bright, zesty and charming.
Lots of cracker and biscuit with the zestiness coming rather late on the end; lots of herbal hop and pleasing bitterness. Up front, it's just a touch bland/biscuity/bready. Still, that nose is fantastic and the finish is excellent. Beer shows good texture and attenuation. Just need a bit more expressive, softer, dare I say sweeter, maltiness.

16 oz can shared by tfontana. Thanks T. The flavor has a soft grain base, low bitterness, mild bready sweetness, and pretty clean finish. Wait, wait a second. Nice lawnmower brew!

Canned 12/8/25, drunk 6/20/26. Compliments of tfontana. Thanks for my first Wayward Lane rating!
Wow! That is a big ass aroma and it's lovely. Rich grainy, six-row character. Clean and snappy with honey-like character in the background.
Lighter in flavor with some papery grains and soft honey. Crisp finish with a bit of bitterness. No apple or wax. Clean. Maybe just a touch thinner than I'd like but it is very low abv.

Tap at BGB with Gurthnar. Hazy golden body, off-white head. Citric and herbal aroma, some apricot. Smooth taste, oniony, brown sugar, light stone fruit, generally lightly fruity, minerally, just a vague touch of autolysis. Killed by the travel I assume.

Tap at BGB, thx Gurthnar! Reddish body, pinkish head. Rubbery aroma, hibiscus-like. Sourish taste, hibiscus-like again, but I guess blackberries, light dragonfruit, clean lactic notes. Okay.
