A slightly better than average transparent beer. It’s better than all the Buds and so on, probably because they might actually use hops.

Had this in a CAN....at an Arlington A’s baseball game...This was the best beer I had in my life...I think that it was the surroundings though...it is a Grain Belt...what else do you want.

RBSG 2007 Grand Tasting. Pale straw with a white head. Sour grain nose, light floral. Very light grain flavor. Watery. Blah.

yellow fizzy beer cheap if in the midwest, mostly seen at parties because it goes down like water, seems like a nicer version of keystone or its equivalents.

Filtered, yellow, fizzy beer. Smells like corn and alcohol mineral water. Pretty much tastes like it too. Decent lawnmower beer. I’d enjoy this over a PBR or any other macro. When I think of this beer I always think of the huge grain belt bottlecap over the railroad bridge in downtown Minneapolis. I’m amazed this brand still exists, cheers to Schell for keeping it alive.

Can. Light and sweet cream corn flavor but I actually like cream corn. Decent amount of grass in it to offset all of the sweetness. Not horrible.

Bottle. Aroma is slightly grassy hops. Very clean aroma. Flavor is syrupy sweetness, maltiness. Pretty full mouthfeel for a pale lager.

First beer sampled during RBSG 07 at the Happy Gnome and shared with yespr. From a 12-oz bottle, this beer pours a pale golden yellow brew with a thin white head. Aroma of corn, barnyard hay and grassy hops. Taste is carbonated, light bodied with a corn meal flavor. The finish is slightly metalic with a clean aftertaste. Another outstanding lawn mower beer created and still brewed in Minnesota.
