Formerly The Traveler
This deep golden ale possess an aromatic nose with floral and fruity notes. Its flavors are a blend of warm, soft biscuity malts followed by a complex, clean finish. With this ale, we aimed to create an easy drinking, one-of-a-kind IPA that leaves you wanting more.
Travelin’ Man is homage to Del’s lifetime of traveling. From Colombia to Kenya and everywhere in between, Del experienced the world in ways few others ever will, and we are forever grateful for his stories. We hope to inspire you to go out and make your own adventures.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a lightly hazed orange color with a one finger head of white foam. The head fades fast leaving but a touch of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is light overall, consisting of a tangerine and orange smell mixed with a little bit of a bready aroma. There is a touch of a caramel and light herbal hop as well.
Taste – The taste begins with a big grapefruit hop flavor supported by a slightly drier caramel malt base. Upfront the grapefruit hop as a touch of sweetness to it, but after time the sweetness fades and the flavor gets more bitter and grapefruit rind like in nature. At the same time some other flavors of herbal and grassy hop comes to the tongue, with these tastes taking there flavor profile to its end, where one is left with a bitter grapefruit taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is average to slightly lighter with a carbonation level that is rather average. For the very bitter grapefruit hopped tastes the feel is nice and creates a refreshing and approachable medium for the flavor profile
Overall – A rather tasty, grapefruit forward IPA with a nice bite, but yet still very easy drinking. Rather tasty overall.

This is a very floral beer, almost jasmine like flavor. Decent sweetness, not a thick or cloying beer, it’s well rounded, but definitely floral over tropical as other reviews have stated.

Simply the best IPA I've ever had. It is just like grapefruit/orange juice. Mouth feel is like a juice. Loved it. Will buy repeatedly.

Doesn't have as much of the Belgian character I was hoping for. Drinks more like a regular IPA -- dominated by hops, strong bitterness. Solid but not what I was hoping for.

From draft into a snifter. Orange gold color. Thin white head , good lacing. Earthy smell. Taste of vanilla and herbs. Not a lot of depth on the taste, but a good beer.
