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.

From a can. This really was bad. I guess I’ll have to try it under perfect conditions (like, pool-side with a BBQ) but as I had it, it didn’t do anything but corn and fizz.

Much better than people say. It has a straw yellow color and a corn style nose. It drinks crisp and clean and the malt shows up in a nice way.

From bottle. Pale yellow with a white head. Aroma is hay, grass and corn. Flavour is grainy, malty and bitter. Bitter grainy finish, not pleasant even very cold.

I drink as much "American" beer as I can but I don’t think I will giving this swill another try. If you don’t care about taste (or your taste buds), then please go ahead and give this a try. It had a metallic taste... and I was drinking it from the tap. All that I need to say that this is the pride of MN.

I like a good cheap beer on a sunny day and this fits the bill nicely. Pretty typical for the style for the most part but it has a lemony taste to it that reminds you more and more of lemon coffee cake as you drink it. I don’t know quite what to make of that but I did enjoy it.
