Draft. Hazy golden in color. Light aroma of blueberries and malt. Tasted more like blueberry to me than orange. Also had a nice light wheat/malt flavor. The taste was nice and crisp and refreshing. Seemed a bit over carbed on the palate. Tasty.

Poured from bottle down the middle of glass just like Leine suggests. Three fingers of head develops but quickly disappears and leaves just a thin layer floating on top. No lacing whatsoever. Pours a dark golden color and murky to the eyes. Smells of fruit (orange, lemon?) and very subtle hop. The taste delivers expected fruitiness and little to no hop bitterness. Its what your expecting, but then again it’s not. It is a beer after all, but it doesn’t taste much like it. Garnished with orange wedge.

Tap at Buffalo Wild Wings Chanhassen. Initially served with an orange wedge until I removed it. Hazy gold with short lived head, no lace. The aroma was slightly spiced, but nothing stood out. The flavor was somewhat wheat like, but not anything special. The palate is what I really enjoyed as it was very refreshing and washed down the hot sauce.

Poured from bottle into glass. hazy gold/orange with full head. Great citrus smell and great taste that goes down smooth with a crisp tart aftertaste. Most beers I must enjoy on tap but this beer is just as good right out of the bottle.

Unfiltered yellow with large quickly diminishing head. Aroma of lemon, yeast and a little corn. Taste is very lemony, a little over carbonated with a tart lemony finish. A little dry, buy an ok beer.

I think this is a very drinkable beer. Not exactly full-flavored, but a very enjoyable refreshing beer. Perfect for a hot summer day.
