Grain Belt Premium Light

Brewed by August Schell Brewing Company
Style: Pale Lager
New Ulm, Minnesota USA

Pours a light golden yellow. Aromas of minor hops, corn, grains. Flavor is light, crisp, watery with a little hop and not much else.

Light yellow with lazy bubbles in the lager glass. A thin white head. The aroma is grassy with some light flower notes. The taste is corn flakes and some grass. Not much character, but that isn’t a surprise. Nothing bad, though.

In the clear 12 oz. bottle. First of all, this was NOT skunked! I’m not sure what chemical they put in a beer in a clear glass bottle to prevent it from being photosensitized, but whatever it is, it works. I just hope that the additive is not carcinogenic. Very light yellow color with a big-bubble foamy head when shaken up and sprayed on your wife. Aroma of corn is very slight, mostly no aroma. The first sip was downright pleasant for a second or two, then the grainy flavor kicks in and the beer just finishes with a metallic flavor. Almost like you’ve been licking a rusty pipe. Not as good as regular Grain Belt Premium.

Sliks Favorite Beer....poor Bastage... Well I’ll give it this...NOT the worst light beer I’ve ever had... and Schell’s could make it alot worse...so for Minnesota swill...I’m THERE!

ewwwwww. a thin grainbelt premium -- without the flavor! at least they don’t call it ’low carb grainbelt premium’....

Not much to this beer. Flavors of corn and chemicals. Yellow. A light with slightly more body than most others.

Can. American light lager aroma. Large, fine bubble white head. Pale, gold body with bountiful carbonation and decent lace. Smooth, easy-drinking pale lager but unfortunately, none of the distinctive sweet Grain Belt Premium flavor. Coors Light is one of the few light beers that has been able to maintain some of its regular counterpart’s distinctive flavor. Sam Adams Light was unable to do so and neither is GBPL. Nevertheless, despite this shortcoming, the macros have nothing on GBPL. With the same marketing muscle, GBPL would be outselling them all. No flaws, just not all that flavorful. However, it is a light beer, so you can’t really expect much in that category.

Bottle. I bought this for someone who likes light beers, but they cancelled on me, so here I go. I like Grain Belt Premium. This stuff does not taste anything like it. Typical ultra light beer with a metallic salty flavor and zero body. Do we really need a light version of a light beer? I was fooled by the surprising aroma similarity to Premium( corny malt). Crystal clear and well carbonated with just enough yellow to let you know it is beer. Goes down fast and is cleaner than many light lagers. This is a beer I would recommend only to the carb counting freaks who insist on still drinking beer. Not for everyday mass consumption. Although I’m on my eighth as I write this.
