12 oz bottle purchased at Metcalf Discount on 91st Street in OP, KS. Pour is slighlty hazed straw golden with a firm 2 inch white head. As the head slowly retreats, leaves behind nice lacing. Aroma of musty wheat and floral perfume. Also some vegetable quality, I’ll assume that is the Agave. Slight twinge of chemical sour towards the very back. Unique nose for certain. The taste is wheat primarily, with a grassy hay earthiness leading to the Agave flavor towards the finish. Some tart lemon citrus is present as well. Flavors are nicely integrated, and this builds up to a satisfying beer. Palate is mouth coating without being heavy. Interesting idea well executed.

Nice refreshing wheat beer with good flavor. Interesting different flavor made it okay

Pours a cloudy yellow with 2 fingers of foamy head. Aroma of banana, wheat, fruit, citrus and maybe a hint of agave....maybe. Very silky smooth moutheel with flavors of wheat, a slight tinge of banana, faint hints of sweetness, and agave nectar......maybe. All in all this is a nice light sipper or lawn mowing yardwork brew, and despite it’s low level of flavor it could hit the spot on a hot summer day.

Poured cloudy orange with medium off white head. Aroma is fruity with a hint of peppery spice. Finish is a tad bitter. Nice summer drinking beer.

On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a cloudy, orange body with an inch thick, dense foam, white head that dissipates at a moderate pace and leaves some decent lacing. Aroma is some sweeter and light wheat malts, bread, sweet oranges and tangerines, and slightly tart lemons. Flavor starts sweet and fruity with a light tartness before more wheat bread comes in. Finishes slightly juicy with a bit of a tart earth and lingering sweet wheats. Palate is medium bodied and smooth. Overall, a pretty tasty wheat with enough bright flavors to satisfy. Straightforward, but solid.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden yellow (almost yolk colored) with a decent white head that fades. Aroma is of wheat and lemon. Taste is of wheat, lemon and agave. Fairly smooth, clean and easy to drink. Not a bad brew and is refreshing. I have to agree with the commercial description in that it is familiar, yet creative.
