On tap at the Ft. Wayne Indiana pub. Pale gold color with a thin white head. Light sweet nose, but not much of one. Grainy malts with some citrus notes. Very clean and light beer and easy to drink. Not very interesting, but solid for a brewpub’s lightest offereing.

draft - Pours golden with a thin white head. It has a light pale malt aroma and a sweet pale malt flavor with maybe a hint of hops, but just the barest hint. It’s light bodied though not too terribly watery. Finishes clean. I’ve had worse.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a head of finely sized white colored bubbles that were fully diminished and left behind a transparent uncarbonated light yellow-orange colored body and no lacing. The mild aroma was malty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The thin flavor contained notes of malt and hops. Not one that I would buy again.

PBR clone....at 5 times the price....nuff said! Sadly I have to say more to post this....so....it sucked, bigtime. If this was a $1 special and I was in the mood for a PBR, it would be what I would go for....but frankly I woud down some quality Colt 45 first

Well, this is a corn bomb. No smell and no lacing at all. Tastes like corn. Bad pislner that reminds m of PBR.. would be OK at PBR draft prices but $5.....not good at all.

My first of four lackluster beers from Granite City’s new Missouri location. Pours light in color with a minor head. The aroma has light pale malt and nothing else. The body is very think with crisp carbonation. The taste has pale malt, corn, light spicy hops and a good deal of wateriness. Fair at best.

Mild grain aroma. Yellow-golden, straw, with thin white head. Grainy and mild sweet malt flavours. Watery, bitter finish.

Tap at the St. Louis Park location. Very plain lager. Light malt and some sweetness on the nose. Pours pale yellow. Very mild flavor. Some light maltiness with a hint of hop bitterness on the finish. Light bodied.
