Granite City Northern Light

Brewed by Granite City Food & Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
St. Louis Park, Minnesota USA

Tap at brewpub, Wichita, KS. Pours pale yellow. Solid and slightly cloudy. Faint floral honey in the nose. Flavor is light, sweet hops with tangy malt. Watery on the tongue. For a light beer, this is pretty tasty.

There is absolutely nothing to this beer. Like drinking a bit of grainey, malt water. Watery cereal maltiness, with a light bit of lemon fruitiness, finishes clean and dry.

Pshaw. Light hop in the nose, slightly spicy and aromatic, but barely any malts. Initially has a bit of a citrus quality in the flavor, but eventually leads nowhere. A touch of bittering hops. Clean and light. Nicely golden in color, not too pale.

Draught at the Cedar Rapids, IA location. Clear light golden color with thin white head and no lace. Minimal sprucy hop and malty cereal grain aroma and flavor. There was also a barely perceptible pineapple flavor at the end. Tasted fresh, but was otherwise like your run of the mill mass produced light lager.

Draft at S.D. location. Light clear pale color with an average fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Light sour citrus aroma. Light body with flat carbonation. Light sweet flavor with a light sweet short finish. Light in character.

(Draught) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of light grain and skunkiness. Flavor of light floral, citrus, and malt.

Cedar Rapids, IA location. Pours to a light golden body with a white head. The aroma is lightly flowers and pale malt. The flavor is simple pale malts, light honey, subtle grassy hops. The palate is medium-light bodied, nicely carbonated, easy drinking.

Fargo, ND location: Faint malt and watery taste. No better then Coors light. Pass on it.
