Backlog. Lightly hazy gold pour with a white head. It has a mild aroma of grainy malt and a bit of apricot. The flavor is similar and on the sweet side. This isn't bad, but it's kind of bland and I was looking for more apricot and had higher expectations of Founders.

Keg at MBCC 2018 Yellow (session Juan), 11/05/18. Rich golden pour with a decent off white cap. Nose is apricot, wheaten notes, grassy, light breads. Taste comprises breakfast cereal with sweet apricot filling, straw, grains, light breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok refresher but nothing I'd actively seek out.
