Clear golden, lots of carbonation. Lots of corn and grain on the nose as well. Some german hops im assuming s what i smell. semi sweet malt character that rides through this beer.

Appearance: Pours a remarkably clear, light golden body with a thin, wispy white head. Smell: A handful of corn kernels, a pinch of sulphur, and light cereal notes make up this aroma. Taste: It’s corny, but less corny than the aroma would have you believe. Lightly sweet cereal flavor. Not much hopwise to speak of. There’s a light sourness to the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Mild carbonation. Drinkability: I feel like I deserve a prize of some sort each time I finish a Northwoods beer.

Picked up single bottle from brewpub. Pours a very light, watery blonde gold brew, as light as a diet ginger ale. No head except a touch of film topping and a thin bubbly ring. Aroma is some honey, and a touch of flowery hops. Taste is highly carbonated, light tobacco, and a sweet flowery hop finish. The palate is very watery and light. Too clean of a finish with no after taste.

Bottle. Pours a very light yellow with no head to speak of. Little carbonation. I smell a little sweet malt in the nose. Flavor is sweet with a honey fruitiness and lightly toasted malt. Easy to drink, not a big flavor monster.

Pours amber with white head. Thin aroma of grain and fruit. Flavor is very watery with a minor hop presence. Not much to like here at all.
