Draft at Barley's Kitchen + Tap. Clear pale gold, white head. Lots of carbonation. Orange soda, sweet finish, bit of lager flavor.

~3 oz sample at the Boulevardia Taps & Tastes in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is cloudy golden orange with a minimal white head. The aroma is citrus, and some tart lemon. The taste is mostly soda blood orange citrus, fruit sweet, muted tartness of the lemon shows some, and there is a small token amount of cracker malt under the citrus fruit. The palate is light to thin bodied, active carbonation and citrus in the finish. This was refreshing during a hot festival.

10oz draft at the brewpub. TOO SWEET. Looks pretty enough, and even smells nice enough for those that like citrus drinks. But I could not drink the thing. Its not too sweet for a beer, its too sweet for a soda. There really is not much beer to be found in it. Sounded tempting but was very disappointing.
