On tap pours out hazy straw topped with a white head. Nose is nice big over ripe citrus hops a little tropical notes and some sweetness. Taste is more of the nice sweet over ripe citrus and tropical fruit hops but some bitterness on the end.

32 oz crowler poured, picked up at Wandering Hop, Yakima. Mostly clean and clear golden pour. Rocky foam head. Aroma comes out balanced with bready and caramel malts, and citrus and piney hops. Layered and flavorful. West coast IPA, but without any overly intense bitterness. Crisp front, more creamy palate to follow. Resinous, but low bitter hop linger. Really easy drinking and delicious IPA here.

On draft at Wandering Hop. Clean, clear, shiny golden pour. Patchy head. Aroma has some soft cream corn and straw grains. Crisp first sip, a lot more of the straw than corn on flavor. A touch watered down feel. Refreshing for sure, as it doesn't taste like much. Mexican lager. It is what it is. I dare somebody to make one of these that I can tell apart from the others.

Draft pour enjoyed at Wandering Hop. Nice break from the hoppy beers on the menu here. Big robust roast, toasty malts. Jet black appearance. Soft char, bold finish. Some coffee ground linger, and ends on a bold and bitter note. Well put together, wonderfully toasty stout here. All about these stouts with nothing but the good stuff in them.

Draft pour enjoyed at Wandering Hop. Clean and clear copper amber appearance. Thin head. Bready and nutty grains with a quiet caramel note. Long lingering, impressionable malt bill. Balanced towards the malt clearly, and it is a solid bill to lean on. Touch of spice. Almost a rye note if I was guessing. Bready finish. Tasty red that's a little different than your typical. Pretty nice brew.

Draft pour enjoyed at Wandering Hop, Yakima. Clean and crisp golden appearance. Thin head. Cracker and straw grains dominate, with a gentle cereal malt. Impressionable lingering malt bill to this more than typical flavorful lager. Crisp biting finish. Easy drinker. Good lager.

Draft pour enjoyed at Wandering Hop, Yakima. Juicy orange haze, patchy head, sticky lacing. Hop heavy hazy with melon and piney notes. Stone fruit nose. Cool and slick flavor all around. Melon rind bitter linger. Flavorful and well hopped hazy.

On tap at Wandering Hop, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out woody resinous hops, a little pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has a grainy character permeating, with armpit hops, some earthiness, and pine. Finishes armpit-y, dry and grainy. Not a great hop expression or great structure.

On tap at Wandering Hop, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very faint, with a tiny hint of passionfruit. Flavour is fairly acidic, with the passionfruit coming out pretty obviously. There's nothing to this though -- light, nearly lifeless, without any depth (yeah, I know, it's a kettle sour, but still). Drinkable, I guess.
