Shaker pint draft on the porch at the Foundry - Kansas City, Missouri. Pour is fully hazed cloudy orange, lemon yellow. Smallish all white head, nice streaky lacing. Aroma of citrus, lemon and lime, clean wheat and some faint yeast spiciness - clove and coriander. Nose is clean and fresh, quite bright. Taste is spritzy orange and lemon, big wheat citric element and spicy grassy coriander yeast. Slightest hint of tartness. Palate is medium, with bright carbonation that makes it coating and really refreshing. Flavor was clean throughout - perfect for a hot early evening sitting outside.

Draft at the brewpub. Aroma is full of spicy, citric coriander and orange peel, some malty, floral sweetness and wheat character coming through. Thoroughly cloudy medium golden-amber color with a thin, uneven head and lacing to match. Flavor is similarly full of spice, orange, and honeyish, citric malt touches. Plenty of coriander and clove throughout, with a very gently acidic finish. Bitterness is nearly non-existent. Palate is smooth and low in effervescence, body is light-medium. Pretty refreshing on a hot summer night.

Decent fruity aroma, a bit of a grainey texture, with some lemony acidity and a bit of clove spiciness. Weak and watery for the style.

A hazy yellow beer with a nice banana essence. Crisp and a little fruity. OK.
