I obtained a pint draft at Lake Powell Resort in Page, Arizona. A modest beer, it had a cinnamon brown body and a rim of light tan foam. It gave off a flowery scent and little more. I tasted pears, grain, floral and a distinct sweetness. Easy to drink, not challenging but sometimes that is enough.

hazy light gold with a white head. It smells of wheat malt and fruit that’s almost like berries. The flavor is on the sweet side with some fruitiness and some quite mild hops. It’s okay.

12 oz. can from Total Wine, Scottsdale, AZ. Pours a cloudy applesauce color with a tiny white head and poor retention. No lacing. Sweet indistinct aroma. Likewise, the flavor is light sweet, but indistinct too. Weak wheat base beer. Thin mouthfeel and light body. I would call this a fruit beer, not a wheat ale. It's simple, smooth, clean and easy drinking. Nothing special but enjoyable.
