Light dusty malt aroma. Clear yellow pour. Flavor starts with a surprsing run of decent malt flavor, but then quickly fades into something a little skunky. Finishes extremely clean.

(draft) Clear pale-straw body with white head. Aroma is mild, medium sweet. Taste is medium sweet, bread, cereal, no bitterness. Light body, easy drinking.

Being a NE Minneapolis resident I have a warm spot for a cold "Primo". Light as a Miller Light in color, taste is a traditional lager with a hint of sweet.

Pale yellow gold, disgusting film of a white head. Lightstruck skunk mixed with corn and grainyness in the aroma. Tastes like watery urine strained through a filter of used bandaides. Finish is dry and watery with a hint of rice adjunct. Mouthfeel is light and somewhat watery.

Had this out of a cold bottle. Nothing special here. It was yellow just like Miller Lite, which I don’t generally consider to be a good thing. It was rather tasteless over all. I guess if I grew up with this beer I might appreciate it but I would not make any effort to have this again.

There is nothing better than playing some outdoor hockey in the freezing winter here in North Dakota, and kicking back a couple of these while warming up in a shotty wooden warming house covered in graffitti (Manvel, ND). Good beer, good price, good game.

In all honesty, I haven’t too many kinds of beer. I became of age only a few months ago but trying new and interesting kinds of beer has become a hobby of mine...I have to say, of the 20 varieties of beer I have had, Grain Belt Premium is one of my favorites. I was introduced to it by a friend on my 21st birthday. I was hesitant to try it for the simple fact that I always thought it was a "Hick" beer. After trying Corona, Budweiser and Miller etc... Grain Belt is far superior to those. Its a great not to heavy and not to light... a great medium bodied beer. And being that I’m from Minnesota, I have to support that.

This beer will always have a special place in my heart. Drank it almost exclusively throughout my high school days, this beer has a classic taste. Middle-range body coupled with a richness and a strong grainy taste gives this beer a character to be enjoyed any time of day, any season, although my preferred consumption would be outside in the day, maybe during a picnic or BBQ.
