Served on tap at the Doolittle American Grill ($3.25) Alexandria, Mn. Pours with one finger white head that goes quickly leaving no lace. Cloudy amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Apricot nose. Starts with a apricot flavor but is nicely balanced, finish is clean.

16 oz. draft at Buffalo Wild Wings. Pour is orange amber, clear with a mostly whiye head. Aroma of citrus and some caramel malt. Taste is very citrusy, mostly orange (I had this with out the customary orange slice) with a medium - full body and some nice caramel nut malt. Overall, much better than I was expecting and a nice pair with spicy wings, very refreshing.

From a 16 oz tap pour in McCall, idaho, this came a cloudy yellow with a small white head and light lacing. Nose of berries and citrus, with some yeast. Smooth and light mouthfeel. Flavor of wheat and citrus. Almost like fruit punch. Refreshing.

Sacramento Sports and Brew Fest. This was one really interesting beer. Granted, it’s a Miller product but getting past that this was really tasty. An aroma of black licorice, corriander, some sweet orange juice. Appearance was gold in color, slightly hazy with a nice white foamy head. Mouthfeel was a bit on the minerally side, and thin. Flavor was really nice, with a strong orange character with underlying spices, some wheat character with a clean finish. It’s too bad that I can’t find this on the West Coast. In terms of quaffability, it reminded me alot of Pyramid Apricot Wheat. Nice summertime beer.

On tap at Applebees. Pours a murkey amber with a decent head. The aroma and taste are dominated by blueberries. Not much more than that, some wheat and a medium body. Really fruity and sweet, but somewhat balanced by the malt and wheat. Decent.

Bottle- Hazy yellow pour unleashes a standard frothy white cap with just some lace. The aroma is strange. It is quite perfumey and reminds me of fake blueberry candy. It also has some citrus and a bit of coriander, but the berry aroma is overwhelming. Tastes much like the aroma. Fake berry candy sweetness is powerful, with some orange and floral spiciness, and not nearly enough bitterness to mellow out the blast of berry essence. Sweet, sugary, this one was a chore to drink. Thanks to my mom for the bottle.
