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.

Wow, this six pack is going to be tough to finish. Pours a pale straw color. Aroma of canned corn and metal. Taste is grainy but one dimensional. Finish is smooth. Not bad, if you’re ever in a pinch, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Pale yellow, slightly cloudy beer with a thin white head. The aroma is lovely. Fresh sweet pale malt and a light wheaty spiciness. There is also a lovely yeasty fruitiness. A light kiss of spice. The flavour is also well-balanced and softly sweet. There is a little bit of light fruity character, a bit of spice. Excellent balance and a very tasty summer beer. It’s really lovely, actually.

On Tap at the Great Wolf Lodge (Wisconsin Dells) The waitress said it was ’like a wheat beer’ ... Poured a hazy gold with a very thin head. Wheat like aroma, some citrus, some sweet bubble-gum like tones. Flavour was crisp grainy malt, light sweet citrus fruit tones. Enough bitterness to balance without being overly noticeable.

Pours hazy straw yellow with fluffy white head and soapy lacing. Nose- sweet corn, slightly grassy. Taste- creamy malt, some corn, lemon. Crisp carbonation, finishes with a touch of hops. Very drinkable.

Pale yellow pour with a white head. Sweet malt aroma. Sweet taste but the flavor really does not hit you as other beers do. There is not much to it. It has a slight creamy mouthfeel and some lacing.

Bottle at a weird dinner at some restaurant in Wisconsin. I had heard good things about New Glarus, but this beer was a less than exciting introduction. Pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma and taste are sweet- fruit, grass, corn, honey. Good enough that I ordered a second one upon realizing that there were no other interesting beers on the menu. At least there was a nice view of the Mississippi from the window.

Light barley malts in the aroma with a touch of corn. A little sweetness. Rather light actually. The beer pours golden with chill haze and a thin head. Moderate corny flavors, light malt sweetness and a crisp hop bite in the finish. Lightly sweet with a touch of corn. Still nice and tasty with a soft crispness in the finish.
