19.2 oz tallboy from Meijer. Sugar and fusel alcohol nose as I pour. A hazy golden color under a thin, sudsy head. Taste is mostly more sweetness, and headache-inducing alcohol. There is a bot of orange after the first few sips. Then some slight spice, that could be from wheat malt, coriander and/or yeast. Hops are very indistinct. Mostly like a Blue Moon.

Tap at star bar. Weird pastry stuff. Mint, brown chocolate. Chocolate syrup tone, artificial and forced. Sweet, drinkable. Unique enough, sort of muddied. Meh.

12 ounce bottle from Woodman's Appleton, 8/22/19. Been about a million years since I had an Atwater beer, much less a new one. But that's the BYO six pack life. It was either this or an Abita. Hazy orange, thin fizzy white head, fair retention. Aroma of a weird dank and acrid note, some mango. Just smells weird. Maybe some peach skins? Taste is mango, wheat, apricot, pale malt. Thankfully tastes much better than it smells. A bit thin, some lingering spice.
