This pours a bright yellow body with a slender fizzy head. If you snort hard, you pick up a soft scent of sweet pale malt along with some grassiness and a touch of metallica. Light-bodied and somewhat oily, it has mild, swet generic malt flavor with a touch of grassy bitterness. Oddly, not a bad drink.

There is a bar in Eau Claire, WI called The Joynt that has a big sign on the back bar saying ’No Light Beers served’; they have four or five brews on tap, all local and cheap except for Guinness. This is my favorite to get there, light and sweet, sort of between Bud and Rolling Rock but better than either. Not great, but a good sweetish, smooth and clean-finishing American lager that’s well worth the price in the Minn-St. Paul area.

Clear bottle. The sickliest pale yellow I have ever seen. A relatively thick head. Aroma of corn and, I kid you not, strawberries and cinnamon! Taste was sweet and fruity with corn and peaches. A strange beer 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.
