beer-yum	3.8 Wayward Violet Beauregarde’s Blueberry Marshmallow Lactose Sour Ale Restrained tart aroma in a raspberry pour. Similarly laid back tart berry body with a subtle hint of marshmallow and smooth cream. Given its modest strength this would be an excellent cricket watching beer. Friday, September 29, 2023
mrf33n3y	3 Wayward Raspberry Berliner Weisse Old Untappd checkin, March 14, 2019. Pours a reddish amber with a slightly, very light pink head. Extremely light, decent raspberry flavor but not very tart at all. Wednesday, August 16, 2023
mkel07	4.1 Wayward Golden Daze 375ml can from Boathouse Super Cellars on 28 July 2023. This is my 41st beer from Wayward Brewing Company and it is a cracker of a beer that is so easy to drink. Juicy and hazy looking in the glass with a soapy white head. Aromas of pineapple, peach and mango fill the nose and make you want to dive straight into the beer. In the mouth there is a full juicy flavour, little bitterness and a slightly hoppy finish. To top it all off the artwork in the can looks great as well. Wednesday, August 2, 2023
mkel07	4 Wayward Violet Beauregarde’s Blueberry Marshmallow Lactose Sour Ale Can from BWS Cornubia on 30 June 2023, part of the 2023 GABS pack. This is my 40th beer from Wayward Brewing Company and I have to admit that I had absolutely no idea who Violet Beauregard was until I did some research on this beer, so as it turns out this is another beer inspired by a character from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. What a beer it is, very Willy Wonkerish with its bright red/pink colour and soft layer of white foam. In the mouth the beer has a lot more body to it than most sour beers and there is a smooth creaminess as well. The beer itself is easy to drink and has a modest level of sourness and there is also a sweetness in there as well. Monday, July 3, 2023
ANZUShophunter	3.4 Wayward Violet Beauregarde’s Blueberry Marshmallow Lactose Sour Ale Taster at GABS Brisbane. Pours cherry red w/pink-tinged head, tart blueberry aroma & taste. Lactose & marshmallow help smooth it out in the end. Sunday, June 11, 2023
ads135	3.1 Wayward Hazy Mid A solid easy drinking pale ale. Light on the hoppiness, floral with a hint of tropical fruit. I touch grainy. Can from Liquorland in Kingston in 2023. Sunday, March 19, 2023
ALLOVATE	3.6 Wayward Raspberry Berliner Weisse A good four years in the fridge, this is now a vintage, so high time it got the 'empty it' treatment! Into a tulip, chilled. Deep orange with a pinkish hue. Hazy; almost still in look with no head. Pronounced, sweet, khoulis-esque raspberry nose; almost jammy and candyish. Heady acidity on the palate (weird as the aroma gives away little!). Astringent and puckering. Raspberry is there - still jammy and concentrated - but then leaned out to match the high attenuation and thin, vinous body. Little length; ends abrasively but crisp. Highly effervescent. Really dances across the palate. Lightly mineral-like, but wonderfully bright and refreshing. A Nice, light Berliner Weissbier. (37,5cL can, PKD 08/08/2019, Cellarbrations Lynwood) Tuesday, February 14, 2023
ALLOVATE	3.6 Wayward Passionista Geez, I need to clean the fridge out from the back forward. One from 2019. Into a tulip, chilled. Highly charged, highly effervescent and lively on the pour; though the head lasts a mere few seconds before fading to nothing at all. Hazy peach coloured brew and thinly looking. Prominent yuzu, citric tang to the nose with a sweet hit of passionfruit and bready, powdery wheat. Sour and puckering on the palate with a nice acidity that sees it drop off crisp and short. Yuzu and passionfruit - though quite attenuated to be subtle - dominate with less of the wheat of the aroma. Astringent but in a good way; lightly vinous and reminiscent of a fruity, but dry sparkling Prosecco. Body is featherweight and the carbonation but not biting. This is a refreshing, flavoured Berliner Weissbier. Impressed!! (37,5cL can, PKD 08/11/2019, Cellarbrations Lynwood) Monday, February 13, 2023

LesArgen	3.6 Wayward Brewing Wayward Son Strong aromas of grapefruit, passionfruit and pineapple plus a little honey. A similar taste with a good amount of hop bitterness to match that juiciness. A slight lightness of body is my only criticism. Thursday, October 6, 2022
Malrider69	3.2 Wayward Dad Rock Double IPA Pours a straw to amber colour with an attractive white coloured head. The aroma is slightly of pine and the taste has hints of stone fruit and pine resin.

LesArgen	3.5 Wayward Hazy IPA A predominant aroma of grapefruit with some pineapple and passionfruit. It has a pillowy mouthfeel that is the highlight. Not amazing flavours but certainly a nice beer. Saturday, May 7, 2022

Flavors of wheat, passionfruit and light yuzu with a crisp dry tart lingering passionfruit finish. Tuesday, May 3, 2022
LesArgen	2.6 Wayward Everyday Ale It delivers on its promise of being a refreshing everyday kind of a drink, but it's pretty uninspiring outside of the nice hit of sharp and tropical aromas. Not much in the taste to write home about. Monday, March 14, 2022
seanhealy	3.5 Wayward Raspberry Berliner Weisse Sunday, February 27, 2022
wrenandflynn	3.5 Wayward Sourade Blue Blast Berry Saturday, February 19, 2022
Mjollnir	3.4 Wayward Raspberry Berliner Weisse Can. Pours hazy pale straw with a very slight tinge of pink. Acidic, slightly yeasty and very mildly fruity aroma.

Pyobon	4.2 Wayward Ripasso Bianco (Bottle) Pours hazy golden amber with small loose white head. Lovely complex aroma. There’s a dominant tart aroma reminiscent of wine vinegar. There’s some funkiness, some pepper, some oak. Could sniff it for a long time! Medium bodied with excellent carbonation. The taste is excellent and complex. It has a definite vinous character, and some nice oak. The Brett is loud and clear. It also has saison characteristics with peppery and funky notes. A very unusual, interesting and enjoyable drink. Friday, January 7, 2022
tastycan	4.4 Wayward India Pale Ale Australian manufactured, American inspired, English original recipe for the Indian market. Fresh and multinational. I cannot imagine a better poppier bouquet of smiles. Monday, December 20, 2021
tastycan	3 Wayward Pilsner Fair balance of slightly salty beach breezy lager Saturday, December 18, 2021
KeefOz	3.5 Wayward Dreaming of an Amber Christmas BB 10/22. From a can poured a clear coppery-amber with 2cm of beige open foam that retained very well and laced well.

BubbleTicks26	3.2 Wayward Hazy Mid Poured from a can into a Teku glass. Tropical fruit aroma. Pours a hazy golden colour with a white head that dissipates to form consistent lacing. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Decent flavour for a mid. Sunday, November 28, 2021
blackbock	3.4 Wayward Hazy Mid (Can) Poured a very hazy golden yellow. Nice aroma of fresh hops, slightly perfumy and citrusy. Nicely carbed with pretty good head retention. First taste is some acidic pineyness, refreshing and envigorating aftertaste when cold. Malt profile is obscured by the sourness and hop flavours. Something different, I don't mind this at all, sorry I can't give it a higher rating but am restricted because mid strength beer doesn't quite do the job lol Sunday, November 7, 2021
Davros	4.1 Wayward Old School West Coast IPA Pours vibrant amber with a large lasting head. Nose shows pine and resinous hops, spicy hops, clean malt. Flavours include more point and resinous hops by the truckload. Behind that is a fair whack of clean malt, a bit of booze and an assertive hoppy bitterness. Monday, October 25, 2021
edthesea	4 Wayward India Pale Ale Wednesday, October 20, 2021
TedE	3 Wayward Pilsner 375ml can into schooner glass. At Glen Innes Services Club. Pours a golden amber, slight haze. Thin head of foam. Light nose of grain, malt and grassy hops.

Nice hoppy IPA. Wednesday, September 29, 2021
Pyobon	3.4 Wayward Island Life Coffee and Coconut Stout (Can) Pours black with short lived loose tan head. Pleasant but surprisingly fruity aroma with mango and pear drops. Hints of dark roast malt. Medium body and rather fizzy. Taste is unusual and quite a lot going on. There’s the same exotic fruitiness in the start which is quickly joined by chocolate, vanilla and dark roast malts, and then by dark coffee bitterness. A complex, fun, confusing mix of tastes that is enjoyable. Friday, September 24, 2021
LesArgen	3.4 Wayward Hazy Mid A nice easy drinking mid. Aromas of pineapple, apple and a little bread. Nice bitterness in the mouth gives it a bit of an edge. Perfect for a Summer BBQ where you're the designated driver. Sunday, September 19, 2021

colui72	4 Wayward Raspberry Berliner Weisse Strong on raspberry on the nose on the classic BW base of funky uncooked bread dough. Pink, cloudy and effervescent pour, medium head with low retention, without lacing. Tart, raspberry, proofing dough. Finish is slightly savoury, dry, no lactose! Crisp, ridiculously refreshing, light body and high carbonation. Underrated style in the land of pastry smoothies, a proper fruited Berliner Weisse as Luigi likes, perfect summer drink.
