Bright, clear yellow with lots of carbonation. Minimal, short lived head. Not offensive but certianly not interesting either. Lacks any sort of character. It quenches your thirst but that’s about it.

This lager is a small step above average. There is nothing wrong with it, but little to enjoy. It does have good palate and is fairly smooth. Better than most.

Light yellow with a small fizzy head that was gone before I set the bottle down. Aroma is sweet and yeasty. Flavor is sweet grain and alcohol. No real finish at all. This beer certainly isn’t offensive by any stretch but it needs a little more character to be any good.

Color is sickening, but the flavor isn’t as bad. This is pretty much like your average pale lager, but the hops are resinous, but not bitter, and the malts are a bit sweeter. If you want to go out on a limb, you could say it even has some spice and wheat to it. But it probably doesn’t.

Not good. Nasty piss yellow with no head but lots of carbonation. Tastes like the musty wheat from your Grandma’s cellar. Just awful, finished about half of it and gave up. Now why dont I like Wisconsin again?

Pours pale neon yellow, almost clear. No added color with light. Aroma is of yeast, honey, and is vacuous. Taste is of wheat, watered down but with noticeable alcohol. No head, weak carbonation, and incredibly smooth.

Ultra-clear, supremely pale yellow countenance, under a thinnish layer of fizzy white... Drab aroma, nothing much, not bad, but, "eh, it’s beer"... Light inoffensive entry on the palate, smooth and slight, the major character is "moist"...mostly thin wet air, that’s all. Lightness in body, mouthfeel, flavor, etcetera. Some small honeyish sweetness. Doesn’t taste bad, but again, doesn’t taste like anything, either. Very weak. better than Bud, though...barely.

Perfect, Independant American beer. Well carbonated. The way a beer of this style should taste. Bought in Wisc., and brought home on vacation. Was worth the time
