12oz bottle (with the 1800’s era label reproduction; boy am I lucky to score this one!). Poured a lighter yellow color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas and tastes of grains and some corn. Thin and watery.

In the 12 pack cans from HyVee CB. Pale yellow with a poofy white head. Mild vegetable and dextrose fermentation aroma. Medium carbonation and yet the palate is still over the top fizzy. Not quite as good as Grain Belt Premium, but still way better than BMC, This might be my next cooking beer.

Bottle. Pour is amber with not much head. Aromas are sweet, apple juice concentrate with not much else to offer. Flavor is completely pointless. Why bother? I would expect more from a small-scale opperation... but this borders on macro-swill. And I though this would be a "special" lager...

Pours clean yellow with a thin head. It’s sweet, and corny in the aroma. Taste is well balance, grains, grass corn. Good crisp mouth feel and crisp finish.
