12 oz bottle purchased as a single at Cork and Barrel 23rd Street in Lawrence, Kansas. 09/25/15 stamped on the label. The pour is mostly clear golden yellow with a small white head. The aroma is wheat grain, bit of lemon and a nice clove character. The taste is clean fresh wheat malt, the lemon citrus and peel, and a clove mineral to the back. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation and a dry mineral clean finish. My favorite (so far) of the Kansas Territory beers.

12 oz bottle purchased as a single at Cork and Barrel 23rd Street in Lawrence, Kansas. The pour is a light haze orange golden with a smallish white head. The aroma is citrus hop, grass, and a bit of honey herbal. The taste is ash mineral upfront, bitter orange peel and fruit hop, then floral and herbal towards the back. There is also some dirt earth in the finish. The palate is medium bodied with lower carbonation and the bitter dirt finish. Just OK.

12 oz bottle purchased as a single at Cork and Barrel 23rd Street in Lawrence, Kansas. The pour is a clear golden with a ½ inch egg white head, which falls with decent lace. A bunch of fine carbonation bubbles rise to the surface. The aroma is citrus and fruit stripe gum hop, along with some cracker malt. The taste is the hops, sort of a flat grass citrus and the synthetic fruit of the nose. The malt is present, though is faint in the back. Some bitterness towards the back. As the beer warms, an odd ashy taste is introduced. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation and the slightly ashy finish.
