(Bottle) Pours a golden color with a fizzy white head. Grainy aroma of corn. Light malts in there as well. Decent hop flavor for a lager. Slightly astringent. Palate was a little light. Grain and hay in the finish. Nothing "Special" about this...

Pours a transparent bright golden with a thin, fizzy covering of wispy-lacing white head. Dull aroma of mildly sweet pale grains and some earthy noble bittering hops. Body starts with average fullness and a light malty sweetness throughout with some floral grassy hops and bitter balance before a slightly drier finish. A good example of the style and quite drinkable, but not much else.

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.

Pour is clear golden yellow with a thin white head...smell is sweet and lightly grainy and grassy...very enticing...sweet light grassy flavor...I think this is well done...nice chewy mouthfeel....maybe it is a touch too sweet in the finish...
