Wayfinder Beer

🌍 United States · Lager · One of 148 Lagers in hopIQ

A light summer rice lager with hibiscus and strawberry, which the brewery presents as an aqua fresca in beer form. It pours a pinkish red. The hibiscus brings a tart, tangy note reminiscent of cranberry, softened by a touch of sweet strawberry, while the rice base keeps the body thin and the finish crisp. Bitterness is low, and the close is dry and refreshing rather than sweet.

Pours a delicate pinkish-red, translucent and bright with fine carbonation rising steadily through the glass. The head forms a thin, wispy collar that recedes quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the walls. The body remains light and clean throughout, befitting the rice-based foundation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with tart hibiscus and cranberry notes, sharp and inviting without harshness. A subtle strawberry sweetness follows, rounding the initial tartness into something more balanced. The rice base keeps the aromatic profile clean and dry, with no malty weight or yeast character to distract from the fruit-forward presentation.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and slightly tart, with hibiscus leading the way and strawberry adding a gentle sweetness that never dominates. The palate remains dry and refreshing throughout, the rice base keeping structure thin and allowing the fruit notes to shine without becoming cloying. Bitterness is restrained at 22 IBU, registering as a whisper rather than a focal point.
