Sampled at Hop’s Downtown Grill, Kalispell. Pours clear golden with a thinning, white head. The aroma contains citrus, wheat, bread, dough, malt and, presumably, some fruits like huckleberry. It tastes light to medium citric sour, light sweet and light bitter with a wheaty finish. Light body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. I find it strange that this is labeled a Fruit Beer; the wheat is so much more prominent. Then again, it could also have been a ’complex Pale Lager’. I enjoyed it.

At Beartooth Cafe, Cooke City. Pours clear dark golden with a minimal, off-white head. The aroma contains hops, fruits, honey, grass and malt. It tastes medium sweet and medium bitter. Smooth clean finish, not too dry and rather malty. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Enjoyable but lacking a decent IPA punch.
