Matt **r got us our own b**r, because he's friggin' awesome! But it won't be here forever since we only got three logs of this one.

Hazy, juicy, and ridiculously smooth. This one pours a murky orange with a soft white head and bursts with fruity, floral hop aromas. Big flavors of mango, tangerine, and passion fruit lead the way, with a little fresh-cut grass and just a gentle touch of bitterness. A solid malt backbone keeps everything beautifully balanced, adding subtle notes of whole-grain bread and cereal without getting in the way of all those hops.

Matt at Wandering Soul just doesn't miss. Every b**r he makes is something special, and this one is no exception. Come give it a try!
