Cedar Rapids location. Well, this one didn’t have an aroma, though I think I did pick up on a little grass or something. Poured what looked like my pee after six beers--clear with a tinge of yellow. Tasted pretty much the same, adding some metallic qualities and a finish that some pils have. Oh! There was some corn too. blah

the lightest and least memorable of the beers i had there, this one was nothing more than a typical macro brew.

Sampled at the Davenport, IA location. Pours a golden yellow. Aromas of light grains/grass/ and a hint of hops. Has a fresh crisp taste.

The pour did not have much head, but it had decent lacing. This beer is a nice refreshing beer, however, it lacked flavor.

sampled at the MN location and oh what do we have here.. I believe its water.. wait no.. um no I think it is water.. I didn’t even have to look at whether this was my water pint or my beer pint as they were the same thing.

Rice and corn sweetness in a pallid watery concoction that I really didn’t need, want, or enjoy in any way, or on any level. But then again, I really don’t remember drinking this!

At the Davenport IA location. Faint yellow, with no head, and a lot of carbonation. Tasted like corn with a little rice for malt? Anemic hops and not much more. I know they were trying to emulate a mass-production light beer, and I think they nailed it.
