Draft/Fest. A- Bland, grains. A- Gold color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Grains, bland. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- My wife has a fascination with things blue corn. I guess I tried this for her. It was bland. More than an a pale lager should even be which I would think is hard.

16 oz can from HyVee, Ankeny. So we got a lot of pale lagers from Iowa, so I may not expect a lot. But let’s see. Does smell like a corn adjunct lager, but what would I have expected. At least not too sugary. Pours a slightly hazy yellow color, thin rapidly dwindling head. Taste also has some corn sweetness to it. I’m thinking it could have used some extra hops to counteract the corn. But than again, it actually does have a nice thick mouthfeel. Probably would be the equal of some thick Iowa cut steaks or chops. But yeah, the alcohol can go straight to you.

Poured from growler thanks jcwattsrugger. Pour is pale gold with nice carbonation and a thin white head. Aroma is grain lager yeast and corn. Taste is nice and light and you can tell it’s made with corn.

32 oz growler got in a trade with jcwattsrugger. Pale gold color with plenty of carbonation, producing ample head. Aroma is creamed corn, lager yeast and grain.
Yeah, you can tell for sure this was made with corn, it’s found throughout the sip. The body is above light, leaning on medium with a mildly funky yeast finish. A interesting twist on the most basic style.

Growler shared by Jcwattsrugger. Pours clear yellow gold with white head. Nose/taste of apple, corn, sticky syrup and alcoholic fruit. Medium body. Not bad for the style.
