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.

For a Minnesota light beer its ok. not much flavor at all. It tastes a lot like Grainbelt Premium, just a little more watered down. I probably will never drink it again. I don’t see any reason to.

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

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.

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.

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.

recently re-released by schell's and a far cry from its previoius embodiment. Kind of watered down and cornish, Poor job by schells
