Served in a 12oz bottle at the Doolittle American Grill ($3.50) Alexandria, Mn. Pours with two finger white head that goes slowly leaving a good lace. Clear pale amber color. Light carbonation and light bodied. Wet stainless steel nose. Starts with a hoppy citrusy flavor but weak, finish is clean since there is not much here. Good lawn mower beer.

Light golden color,grainy aroma with some corn and a slight attempt at hops.Taste of corn and grain kind of biting in a way and light on the hops.Nothing special except on a hot day.

Bottle. Bright yellow and bubly. Quite possibly the starchiest beer ever made. Corn, corn, corn.

This is one of those "easy drinking" beers. To be very simple, it’s a great beer to enjoy when "in Rome" (i.e. the upper Midwest) and/or doing things that might distract you from noting the intracies of what you are drinking.

Wow... first beer I ever drank on a regular basis. I love it, some hate it. It has a very sweet flavor and we often argue if it has a blueberry or butter aftertaste. I think it tastes like blueberry candy personally.

First had this beer in college...River Falls (WI) days during the summer, an event for the whole town. And a good place to be, as you could normally spot many of the Kansas City Chiefs players roaming around the town (their training camp was there). However, the beer experience (Grain Belt Premium from the keg) was not as pleasurable. I remember the beer being barely drinkable. For quite a few years after, I would not touch the stuff. However, it must have been a bad batch, because now I actually enjoy this as an occasional session beer. More flavor that your average macro. It’s not bad, has a nice sweet taste to it (there is taste), so it’s decent for the pale lager category.

This is special to me since it is one of the first beers I have had that I thought, wow, beer can be pretty tasty. At this point I stayed away from bud, miller, coors...and went on to bigger better things. Thanks Grand Belt with your nice sweat corny flavor.

Pours a medium golden yellow color. Aromas of metal, corn, and some minor hop action. Flavor is kind of metallic, with cheerios and hops.
