Draft sample at Parkville fest. Hazy pale yellow color, white head. Aroma of tart citrus. Taste is equally tart. OK.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a toffee color with a medium sized creamy orange-white head that left good lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweet with notes of orange and tropical fruit. The flavor was tangy and sweet with orange, perfume, pez, and tropical fruit. Moderate bitterness. Medium lenght finish. Medium body and fairly smooth. Ok.

Meh. It’s hardly a Berliner weisse, but I’m not rating to style, I mention only at the annoyance of thinking I might be getting one kind of beer but getting another. Anyways, pale gold, bright and clear, short living fizzy head. Nose hints at a tart wheatiness, green apple like, flavor semi-dry graininess, mild tartness, almost too much hop bitterness at the finish. Fairly light bodied. Drinkable enough.

12oz bottle from the state store
Pours clear light golden with a small white head, light lacing. Aroma of lemon, wheat and doughy. Taste of straw, tart, lemon with a dry finish

From tap. Pours pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is grainy, slight grassy. Light tart. Grainy. Mild fruity. Dry and grainy to to tart finish.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is doughy, floral, apples. Pours clear orange with a bone-white head that collapses into a ring fairly quick. Taste is medium level bitter with an interesting apple flavor. The label says it’s an "ale brewed with a natural herb." Not sure what that could be. Pretty good for Leinenkugel’s.
