12 oz bottle from my brother in law. 091614 stamped on the bottle. The pour is clear golden yellow with a one inch white head that falls fast. The aroma is cereal grain, a bit dirty, along with soft fruit and corn. The taste is the fruit sweet grain, coupled with corn and a bit of earth dirtiness. Compared to its peers, relatively clean, though. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation and a brief though slightly dirty finish. This was a go to cheap beer in college, so fun trip down memory lane.

12 oz. can thanks to Skyview. Canned as "Brain Belt, Zombie pub crawl" clear gold with slow steady carbonation. Thin layer of soapy head. Aroma is sweet grain and mild lager yeast note. Also a berry note?
Flavor is simple and smooth but really not much flavor. Sweet grain, corn and maybe a blueberry note, ok... The finish is real clean, no lager yeast after taste. Very easy to drink and beats the hell out of Bud, Miller or Coors. Decent for a pale lager.

Yellow color with a white head, just like the clear bottle shows. Aroma is mild, lager malt and grain. Tastes a bit more lively than a lot of pale lagers; some bitter/sour notes, malt, and grass. A lawn mowing beer.

Sample at Ed’s (No Name) Bar in Winona. The beer is a clear straw color with a thin bone white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Bready malt aroma with some corn notes. Light body with grainy malt, citrus and corn flavors. The finish is sweet and malty with a mild fruit aftertaste. Pretty forgettable overall.

Can. Pours a very pale and clear gold with a medium white head that dissipates very quickly. Aroma has notes of sweet grains and a bit of a skunky notes. Flavor is a bit weak but sweet grain notes are present throughout.

From bottle. Pale yellow with a white head. Aroma is hay, grass and corn. Flavour is grainy, malty and bitter. Bitter grainy finish, not pleasant even very cold.

Draft, Minneapolis. Had this after washing the taste of a Labatt's Blue out of my mouth, but it was only a slight improvement. Since this really is my father's beer (that and Hamm's), and because it has such a generic name, it's a little hard to approach without preconceptions. What I find is the usual pale American Standard color, not much head. I did get a hint of lager yeast taste, but not too much else. When we had to leave, I didn't really want to stay and finish this. Schell's keeps this going because of nostalgia and name recognition as this area's standard cheap beer, but they'd really do well to push more of their own brand (currently #4 on the "Best American Standards" list to your right).
