Everyday Ale

Tap to rate

Everyday Ale is Wayward's sessionable Australian-style pale ale at 4.2 %, built on a crisp, light malt base and hopped with Australian Galaxy and American Cascade. Galaxy brings passionfruit and ripe tropical fruit, while Cascade adds grapefruit, orange peel and a light floral edge. The body stays lean and dry, and 32 IBU give a clear but moderate bitterness that keeps the finish clean. It is part of the brewery's year-round core range.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by Australian Galaxy hops, offering distinct passionfruit and ripe tropical fruit notes that sit atop a crisp, light Malz foundation. Cascade hops contribute bright citrus—grapefruit and orange peel—alongside a subtle floral character. The overall bouquet is fresh and approachable, with no harsh or overstated elements.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a lean, crisp entry and a clean malt base that provides subtle support without sweetness. Mid-palate delivers the full expression of the hop blend: tropical fruit notes transition into grapefruit and orange, while the floral undertone adds complexity. The moderate 32 IBU bitterness is well-integrated, appearing as a dry, refreshing counterpoint rather than an aggressive bite.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
