16 oz can from the brewery. Pours an orange golden with a light haze and an off-white head. Tropical hop aromas (mango), white grape, citrus, pine. Flavor mixes the citrus and tropical hops with some pine. Really very good.

12 oz can dated 27-May-2025. Apparently despite visiting the brewery a couple weeks ago, I've never had this one that's in all the stores. Anyway, it pours a clear yellow with a white head. Piney citrusy hop aroma. Citrus, piney, floral hop flavors, a touch of pale malt. A really solid one.

Enjoyed our visit. Fairly large space with two bars, multiple rooms and floors, and a large garden area out back. Multiple food trucks when we were there as well. Some decent variety in styles offered, and the quality is largely there.

Part taproom, part bakery/cafe. The taproom part is small but nice. Solid selection of local and regional beers on tap. Service was friendly, but it was one of those visits where it seems like they're out of half the things you're trying to order. Food was decent and offered a good selection of vegan choices. A nice place.

On tap at GWB. Pours a light red with a white head. Cherry and strawberry aroma. Cherry and raspberry flavors. Makes me think of red Kool-Aid (but without the sugariness).
