Grain Belt Premium Light

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

Nice light golden color,small white head that had a short life.The aroma was malty,corn and some what fruity as well.The taste was lightly malty a little corn mild hops and just cerealish.Over all a fairly nice brew that started and finished quite nicely with a high drinkability.This was a nice surprise and i would recommend this to anyone for a refreshing rendition of a light beer.

Very watered down version of the very watered down Premium original. Less grainy and corny, actually went well with a wild boar sausage...yum.

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