This is a simple beer that has tons of flavor. Especially when you pour it in a glass and get the head going. When going to Minnesota this is a must try. I do get the feeling the people there take it for granted though, but if you live in an area where you cant get it, (because Budcrap has the area held hostage and therfore will not allow other beers to be in the area or they will pull their contract) you will appreciate it all-the-more when you do taste it.

I love this beer in bottles. When its in cans it tends to loose the slight grainy after taste. This beer has a sweet taste to make it seem like a light beer but it is certainly not a light. If you get the chance to have this on tap drink up because it is a real treat.

One of the better lagers available in MN. Thick heavy body with plenty of grainy flavor. A similarly grainy aroma and a smooth finish.

THANKS PEPSICAN for this awesome brew. This beer should be rated within it’s style. Sure it’s no Dark Lord, but it’s not an RIS! It’s a beautiful Lager. So, here I stand yelling from the tops of mountains with my GBP in hand saying "Reign Long and hard Grain Belt, you are true in my eyes."

thanks Shannon. Can. About what I remember. Honey sweet aroma with maybe some light floral hops. much sweeter than most domestic macros.

Pours pale yellow with little head. Has a slight hop aroma. Somewhat sweet taste with smooth finish. Over all a decent beer.

Probably my favorite "cheapy." Pours and smells like a typical American macro. Light, crisp taste that is sweet but not funky. Not much bitterness and not too good on the finish. Great palate cleanser when drinking a stiff Bloody Mary.
