37.5cl green glass bottle initially pours with a clear gold colored body until the trub glooped out into the tulip glass. The body then took on a sort of brown copper colored and supported a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a nice strawberry fruitiness that's binned up with a thin ribbon of sharp wild yeast followed by peach to maybe cherry nuanced earthiness. The taste delivers similar notes as strawberry slices team up with a brighter wild yeast tartness that threatens to become puckering midway and into the finish. Towards the finish it picks up a mild flower floral character too. Pretty fun stuff.

Pint can pours with a clear mahogany colored body that supports a thin near white head of foam. The aroma offers up plums and dates and cherries meeting up with an almost peppery note flowing into molasses. The taste delivers similar notes as I'm getting a fair load of moderately sweet ester notes of plum, date and cherries that are tempered with soft sweet molasses, sense of maple and malt sweetness. Nice. Overall, this is a little bright for a proper quad.

Pint can pours with a ruby red to mahogany colored body that supports a light tan head of foam. The modest aroma doesn't seem to have a plan or a purpose as I get cherry and plum esters running up against vanilla notes and a touch of malty sweetness. The taste delivers modest sweet dark fruity esters that quickly give way to vanilla bean richness nuanced with winter spices and murmurs of sweet malts. It seems to me the treatment is there to spruce up a sup bar base barleywine. Is that really needed? Just brew better barleywine. Thank you.

Can pours with a clear deep gold colored body that supports a nice white head of foam. The aroma offers up some malt nuanced pine hops as well as slivers of grapefruit in the background. The taste delivers a nice hoppy bite but does become a little too soft and sweet about midway as maltiness comes to the surface. The hops deliver mostly grapefruit like citrus hoppiness as well as a bit of a woody pine like sensation. Fun beer with an enjoyable level of hoppy bitterness.

Draft pour at Arizona Wilderness DTPHX. Copper amber pour, lasting off white cream foam head. Cream heavy body, has a soft coffee note. Lots of bready malts, smooth flavorful finish. Incredible flavor in this mild. Well constructed. Very nice curveball into this lineup.

Draft pour at Arizona Wilderness DTPHX. Clean and clear, shiny gold appearance, lasting foam ring head. Resinous piney hops, a touch of hop oil, grassy constant. Really nice drinking IPA, as its listed here at the brewery. Well balanced and nicely constructed. Light but extremely flavorful. Awesome brew here, and a total stand out in their lineup.

Draft pour at Arizona Wilderness DTPHX. Cloudy golden yellow appearance, thin head that lasts. Moderately rich hazy. Melon nose. Slick body, cool flavors. Grassy and melon linger that finishes clean. Overall a pretty easy drinking IPA. On the refreshing side, with little to no bitterness. Not bad.

Draft pour at AZ Wilderness DTPHX. Slightly cloudy golden pour, lots of rocky foam head. Sticky lacing. Rich with honey notes that somehow still sit underneath the grain bill. Light feel to this flavorful brew. Long lasting honey note. It is exactly what they say it is. Refreshing in the desert heat. Enjoyable for sure.
