Grain Belt Premium

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

Poured from bottle into water glass while at work. Very clear golden yellow but head does not last. Nice bubbles. Grainy aroma, sweet and some corn. Clean and crisp with corn flavored grains and very slight hops at end. Aftertaste is mostly corn. More moderate carbonation than some for the style, which are often way too fizzy. Easy to drink but I am not a fan of corn in my beer. Of course, I would happy to drink this in the right situations.

It’s your basic lager. Give it a shot if it’s available...it does have some contrast with your major US labels...but not terribly notable. But if you’re just looking for something simple, cool, cheap, and refreshing on a hot day, this may be the one to turn to. Pale yellow in color and not complex. Thin head with some faint fruit-sugars.

Yellow straw color, crisp clean and light flavor, good summer brew w/ a burger and the sun toasting your balding head. Beats the macro brews for flavor no problem, and price is even or better.

Bright pale yellow, with no head. Fruity aroma. Sweet tastes, mainly of strawberry, and sugar wheat. Rough mouthfeel and a little rough going down. Reminds me a cocktail of a pale lager and fruit beer.

Sampled on tap at the Freight House in Stillwater, MN. Poured a light golden straw hue with a very modest, white head and nearly no lacing probably due to the plastic cup. The nose was light grain, yeast and a bit of sweetness. The flavor was light malt and a touch of hop bitterness. Didn’t need to try the Premium Light,..this was light enough for me. Pleasant lawn moyer/hydration brew.

Pours a clear yellow brown with a thin white head. Weak aroma with notes of hay, grain, and skunk. Not a great flavor consisting of grain, light, sweet hops and malts, and some tangy tones with quite a bit of carbonation.

Can shared by footbalm. Pours a clear golden color with a small bubbly white head. The aroma was sort of metallic with light grains and some skunky notes. The flavor was nice; light corn and honey dipped grains. Sweet and refreshing. Quaffable for sure. A highly carbonated body.

Pours pale gold with medium white foamy head. Aroma is grainy malt, light lemon cleaner tones Flavour follows suite with a lemony grainy tangy body. Finished crisp and clean. One of those better out of the bottle beers and at $9.99 for 12, I could see myself drinking a lot of this over the summer.
