Wanderlust

◎ Appearance

Wanderlust presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine, persistent carbonation. The head forms quickly with moderate volume and displays good retention and lacing, leaving delicate trails of foam as the beer is consumed. The visual impression conveys lightness and inviting freshness.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit—complemented by herbal pine and resinous hop character from Citra and Simcoe. Underneath lies a subtle tropical undertone of passion fruit, with soft biscuit and light grain notes from the pale, Munich and biscuit malts providing gentle backbone. Oat flakes add a whisper of creamy grain sweetness without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with pronounced citrus and hop bitterness (31 IBU) arriving cleanly on the palate. The mid-palate reveals a balance between hoppy pine notes and subtle tropical fruit, with a malty sweetness from the grain bill providing structure without heaviness. The finish carries moderate bitterness and a dry, clean sensation that avoids astringency despite the alcohol-free nature.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium in length, with lingering citrus and gentle pine notes fading steadily. A pleasant dryness persists without harshness, leaving the palate refreshed and inviting another sip.
