Taste at Tapwerks. Pours a clear, light gold color, with no real head. The aroma is strong berry, maple syrup, wet paper, green banana, and chalk. Sweet, with an acrid bitterness. Light body, with a syrupy, flat palate. Good initial aroma, but it falls apart fast.

Tap at Arlington Hotel Hot Springs nice little selection went with new brewery tick. Light blueberry tinge to the hazy gold. Nose is blueberry not artificial to me. Tastes of wheat, lots of blueberry, lemongrass, some pizza dough. Light watery palate.

Got in a BIF from jdell15. 12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 7/14/2017. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of blueberries, wheat, cracker, white bread, light honey, and herbal earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of blueberries and pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of blueberries, wheat, cracker, white bread, light honey, and herbal earthiness. Minimal herbal bitterness and fruit tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of blueberries, wheat, cracker, white bread, light honey, and herbal earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fairly clean finishing. Nice robustness and solid balance of blueberries and pale malt flavors; with a good malt/bitter/tartness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Minimal dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly tangy/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.9%. Overall this is a good fruited wheat beer. All around good robustness and solid balance of blueberries and pale malt flavors; very smooth, clean, and refreshing to drink with the minimally bitter/tart finish. Very flavorful for the ABV. Nose had more blueberry presence than the taste, could have definitely used a lot more fruit. Nicely enjoyable as a general American wheat style, no yeast notes at all.
