"Be Wild lives up to its name. For Variety Pack 2 we smashed together West Coast bite and East Coast juiciness, then went bigger: this is a double IPA clocking in at 8.5%. Big hop character, wild flavor, and enough heft to back it up. No rulebook required."

look...a typical wheaty color completely opaque with a white vivacious head
Smell..Old school dank flower and melon dominating the scent. very nice and reminding me of Lawsons finest SOS which is high praise
Taste....lso riding down the Old time bitter ales of New England clashing with some new techniques and flavor. Nice and bitter throughout with floral accents and sweetness
Feel...Perfectly slick never pulpy...very good
Overall...This is better than the sum of the parts. This beer realy works for me like all of the Wormtown i have noticed....they do Bitter Better haha....Very Good

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a hazy orange juice color with a billowy head of thick white foam. The head has a great level of retention, fading over time and leaving tons of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The smell is strong of a cracker and biscuit malt smell mixed with notes of earthiness and pine. Along with these smells comes a good showing of some orange and lemon peel as well as a decent hit of grapefruit.
Taste – The taste begins with a nice mix of hop and malt with the hop being heaviest of a grapefruit flavor and the malt being mainly of a biscuit and lightly grained maltiness. There is some light pine and earth upfront and throughout the taste, but these remain rather light in comparison to the grapefruit. Other notes of a very light peach and some hints of grass and hay develop as well, taking the taste to the end with the rest of the flavors and leaving one with a rather grapefruit centric, but balanced taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium to slightly thicker and chewier with a carbonation level that was rather moderate.
Overall – A pretty nice double IPA. More west coast style in flavor, with a NEIPA sorta look.
