On tap at Wander, pours black with a small tan head. Nose has tons of buttery American oak, medium roast, and a touch of vanillin. Flavour is much the same, showcasing the barrel very nicely — lots of buttery American oak, wood, light vanillin, and medium roast. Expertly constructed — the barrels clearly define this. Excellent.

On tap at Wander, pours an opaque murky yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a bunch of chalk, grapefruit, and gentle dankness. Flavour is citric, with plenty of bitter grapefruit, citrus hops, and lots of hopburn. A little harsh and prettt clumsy, but not egregious. Meh.

4oz pour at Chuck's Greenwood. Pours clear gold with white head. Aroma is dank, fresh grass. Flavour has a ton of bright, dank hops; solid pale malt base. Really nice.

Draft pour at Wander, Bellingham. Rating from backlog. Pale golden in appearance. Inviting aroma with a cool fruit, brett funk, and plenty of oak. A bit dry on taste, really nice spicy notes, finishes flavorful and smooth with the brett and oak combination. Gentle orange peel. Just an overall really fun and unique brew from a collab I should have seen coming, but didnt. Really enjoyed this one.

Draft pour at Wander, Bellingham. Rating from backlog. Always a fan of this series, was definitely intrigued by this version. Clean and bright cherry red appearance. Thin to no head that lasts. Quite an intense pucker. Very tart from start to finish. Juicy, jammy sour blackberries and currants. Biting sour juice finish. If you like your sours to smack you in the mouth a little, this one is a good start.

Draft pour at Wander, Bellingham. Rating from backlog. Dense juicy golden orange haze. Patchy foam head. Some cool citrus notes up front, with a bold earthy and biscuit malt to follow and balance. Lots of melon and orange fruit here, but adds no real sweetness to it. Combatted by a decent bitterness, which I like in a hazy. Slight waxy note in the late linger. Interesting and unique hazy to stumble upon here.

Draft pour at Wander, Bellingham. Rating from backlog. Clean golden yellow pour, patchy and thin foam head. Sharp grassy flavor up front, moderate bitter, some straw to folow. Finishes on a more mellow and refreshing feel. Bready and nutty grains are hinted, but sit behind the grassy character. Crisp. Nice one here.

Flavour has plenty piney hops, spicy notes, some grass, and toasted grains. Bitter, spicy pine on the finish, leaving quite a dry feeling in the mouth.

Deep fruity notes, some good toffee character, alcohol in the finish. It's fine.
