Commercial Description:
Brewed with flaked barley and the finest Wisconsin malts. We even give a nod to our farmers with a little hint of corn. Naturally cloudy we allow the yeast to remain in the bottle to enhance fullness of flavors, which can not be duplicated otherwise. Expect this Ale to be fun, fruity and satisfying.

Pours a hazy light golden with a small eggshell head. Aroma of sweet malts, grain, and corn. taste is more corny and grain than anything else, just a little bit of sweet malts in the finish. A little tartness halfway through. Good for what is, but cream ales just aren’t that interesting.

Thanks to TannerTavernBoys for sharing this one. Pour is hazy yellow with a white head. Not a very strong aroma, mainly light malt with some cream and something odd I can’t put my finger on. Taste has a lemon cream and is medium bodied with a frothy carbonation. There is also so pale malt husk taste in there. Fairly boring beer, but no offensive.

Pale lager flavor with the body of an ale. Somewhat grainy consistency, flavors of pale malts and corn. Unassuming hops back it up. All of this may sound like a knock on this beer, but for what this beer is, it is pretty damn good. An unassuming, easy to drink pale lager style beer with body and charachter. Solid.

Bottle... Murky, yellow ale. Citrusy, herbal nose with notes of lemon, corn and fuzzy fruits. Decently-balanced flavor... maybe a whisper on the sweet side. A tad tart. Light to medium-bodied and almost creamy with moderate carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Refreshing. Thanks go out to my lifelong friend Shawn for the brew and excellent conversation.

I’m pretty sure I had this last year at Wakarusa. I got it from some hippie vendors from WI. Light gold color, plenty of floaties. Aroma is light and yeasty. Taste is light with some bitterness and/or pleasant sourness. The finish is mildly fruity. Not bad for the style, but a weak style to be sure.

I had heard of this beer often and finally tasted it. Big letdown. There was absolutely nothing special about it. Hazy amber with a weak white head, there was no appreciable aroma. Maybe some citrus, modicum of malt. Weak and watery in the mouth. The flavor was lackluster. More in the class of a PBR or BMC.

upon reading the bottle i have come to conclude that it actually says dank right on the bottle, vlenen dank! haven’t got a clue what vlenen means but I’ll go along with it, yellow cloud no head, offy yeast nose, tart citrus nip, zesty and slightly bitter, dermphhh

Golden, cloudy color. Smells like flowers and some hops. Taste of malt, corn and bread. Good beer for a summer day after you milk some cows in a barn.
