| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Aug 9, 2009 Usually every brewpub has a light beer for people who drink Miller Lite or Bud Light, etc. This is their beer like that, but for some reason even though it has more flavor than a macro light beer, it actually seemed a little off to me. It had notes of corn and overall was not a good beer. fidelis83 (729), Clinton, Iowa, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Aug 2, 2009 Pours pale yellow-gold with a 1-2 finger fizzy white head that has decent retention. Aroma is grainy, a little grass, herbal notes, and lager yeast. Flavor is very minerally, a little grass, corn, straw and a little more bitterness to the finish that your average pale lager. Palate is light bodied (a little heavier than expected though) with a somewhat oily feel and a light carbonation. Decent, even pretty good for a pale lager, but nothing special. shigadeyo (2263), Harrison, Ohio, USA

It is a really mild-mannered Pale Lager that reminds me quite a bit of Hudy Delight (http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/hudy-delight/139 only much lighter!
Draught (pint) at Granite City Food & Brewery in Maumee, Ohio. Rating #60 for this beer.

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Dec 21, 2008 Tap @ Kansas City location: Clear pale gold with not much head. Pleasant aroma, not too skunky or grainy. A little grapey taste, but not bad for a light beer. It has a surprisingly full body. dm9831 (1168), Monee, Illinois, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Oct 18, 2008 clear yellow, no head. a touch of airy corn (maybe syrup) in the nose. flavor is sweet corn, but not cloying. oily mouth feel, sweet finish. i rather enjoyed this, although it’s major difficulty is it’s extreme mildness.

| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 1/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 8/20 | Oct 11, 2008 Light, nearly clear yellow. No perceivable hops, and no perceivable adjuncts either. Not creamy, but very light palate. Not offensive beyond being a flavorless and characterless beer. It is drinkable at least, the sort of thing you might buy for $10/ 24 cans, if it were sold in cans. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA
