Grain Belt Premium Light

Consensus is for a light beer not bad, color is pale golden, with a hint of real beer flavor on the back end, unlike most macro light brews. A little corn, a bit of grass, but drinkable on a hot summer day.

As far as lights go,Not bad.Pretty much a watered down version of the original.To me it’s worth the 55 calories to have the real thing!

Customer accidentally dropped a 12-pack of Grain Belt Premium Light in liquor store. Seven broken bottles but there were a few surviving bottles to try and rate this light lager. Pours a clear light golden straw brew with a thin and fast dissolving white head. Maybe just a thin white ring after the dissipation. Aroma of light white bread malt, grassy hops, a touch of sweet corn and a slight dead fish. Taste is light bodied, well carbonated with a light bread malt and grassy/vegetable hop flavor. Finish is watery, some light corn grits at first and then a clean cut and crisp aftertaste with no bitterness. As light as they come, it’s a watered down diet beer.

This beer is pale, thin and does not give you much head. Sounds like an old girlfriend I once had. Very soft hops and a grassy corn like taste.

had during a tasting at the ren fest. least favorite of their beers. a little grassy, a little funky, thin as expected.

12 oz. can, coded freshness date on the bottom, sampled ice cold in a lager glass. Poured a very pale golden yellow, crystal clear, frothy white head, decent retention, minimal amount of sticking, if the color wasn’t so pale I would have given it a higher score. Like a lot of macro light beers, not much of a nose, musty, grassy grains dominate, faint traces of corn and cereal. Crisp, dry light bodied mouthfeel, faint tasting malts, sweet cereal grains, halting touches of sweet corn "fruitiness," there is a mild, soft hop spiciness at the end that has an cleansing effect in the palate. Bland and boring overall, I have to agree with a few other reviewers that the regular Grain Belt Premium packs a lot more flavor, but as far as light beers go, you could do worst, a passable light beer.

It is definately a light beer. As such it isn’t the best but it is faithfull to the flavour of the original and has an attractive label. If you are a light drinker and a Minnesota/Wisconsin resident this is a good budget choice.

Grainbelt seems to make the same brew over and over again and just changes labels IMO.Golden color,small white head.Aroma of corn and grain.Tastes weak grain and cerealish with some corn and very weak hops.Hmmmm.
