Final stop before the 17 mile ride home was Wandering Leaf. Ossuary Helles: Appearance: Clear yellow, minimal head. Smell: light bready aroma. Taste: Mild sweetness, light breadiness, light body, light grassiness in the finish. Tastes good even though I say everything is “light”. Overall: First visit to Wandering Leaf, quite busy for a Saturday afternoon. Decided to try the Ossuary since it had won gold at the Minnesota Brewer’s Cup. It was tasty, hits all the right notes for a helles. I’ll have to visit again to try some of their other beers.
Arioli from Godspeed Brewery From a 355ml can packaged on April 14 2026. Poured into a pilsner glass. A one finger fine white head on a very slightly hazy gold.The head diminished to ta thin layer that stuck around. Lots of fine lacing. Aromatic hops in the nose. The taste is of subdued malts overlaid by the hops which overtakes it. A flavourful by mildly bitter finish. A very smooth texture. A medium/light body and moderate carbonation. Overall a solid Italian Pilsner. Well worth a try. 3.88/5 rDev 0% look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Wandering Into The Fog - Freedom 4.26/5 rDev -0.7% look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25 Look: yellowish gold with an orange hue, dense hazy, soapy bubbly head didn't last long, left spots of lacing Smell: woody, resin, grassy, grapefruit, mango Taste: mango, grapefruit, peach, papaya, spicy, pine, apricot, berries, citrus rind Feel: thick body, low carbo Overall: 8.6% abv. This is what you get with this hop combo - Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Krush. So many citrusy, tropical flavors kept coming thru. Hell, I may have missed a few. The citrus rind and intense spice come on strong and linger. Very enjoyable brew. Even more so when paired with Davidian by Machine Head. Let Freedom ring with a shotgun blast! Cheers!
