Bottle. Pours golden with a small white head. Bready aroma. Tastes grainy (who figured?) with some strange sweetness (corn?). A definite session beer but little to offer. P.S. Do not try this beer from their can, it will taste metallic.

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a mug, see-through pale golden with a thin head. Very faint aroma with a note of lemon and perhaps cream style corn. The taste was light with a touch of sweetness, mainly cereal or corn with a touch of citrus. Not bad for what it is, but then again.

An old standard. It’s very light bodied. Has a slight flowery flavor that sets it apart from others in it’s class. One of the best inexepensive beers. Still my default choice for a tap pint to wash down some bar food.

Grainy, malty aroma. This brew has more flavor than most pale lagers. A Minnesota favorite.. indeed.

Pours a crystal clear light yellow. Nice sweet braedy grainy sweet nose. Light carbonation decent almost banana like grainy sweetness. A gem diamond amongst the agates of its class.

A real treasure in the class of beer that it is a member. Its no fancy flavourfull micro but it is very drinkable with a very sweet flavor which leaves an nice aftertaste of the palate. For the price it is availible at it competes with the Naty Ices, High Lifes, Hamms, and Milwalkees . Needless to say it bests that swill by a healthy margin. Not great but a real bargan and never undrinkable.

I love, love, love this beer, and I love August Schells for saving the brand. Best working class brew in Minnesota.
