The beer pours lightly hazy golden and also has a sticky head. Aroma is thick dry wheat with a airy breeze. Taste is surprising because it starts with a strong bitterness followed by a scratchy grainy aspect. Has a short bitter aftertaste. Leaves a perfectly non-sissy wheat flavor that is not overpowering either.
Sampler at Denver International Airport location.

Bottle from Rock Bottom in Denver: This beer is a hazy dark orange/gold color with a medium off-white head with decent retention. Sour, vinegar aroma similar to the Buffalo Gold. Medium-bodied with a soapy texture and stale fruit and malt flavors. The finish is watery and tangy to the point of giving me the chills. Another drain pour.

[Tap at Rock Bottom, Denver] A hazy dark orange beer with a fine coallpsing head. The aroma is very slight - what is there is malty. The flavor is wheaty and flowery = quite boring, and the body is thin.
