12 oz. can at the Falls City Pub, Ohiopyle, PA. Tastes a little funky. Not my favorite. Tastes like beer and dirty water? Something is off. Maybe I shouldn't have tried this after having a premium lager.

From old tasting notes. Labeled as "Straub All Grain Beer". Clear, bright yellow gold color. Big bubbly white head. Sweet malt aroma reminiscent of corn syrup. Sweet grainy tangy malt flavor. Light body with a touch of hop flavor in the middle. Brief uninteresting finish.

Bottle. Light corn and barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Sweet corn syrup and barley malt flavor. Light bitter hay finish. One of the featured beers at the 1983 GABF - must have sucked being a beer drinker back then. Luckily I waited until 1984 to start.

Bottle: Pours clear gold with a small, white head. Slight grain scent. Taste is honeyed,barley malt. That’s about it..... Nothing awful, just a rather dull, grassy plain lager...............watery.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance had a semi-light bronzed yellow color with a two finger bubbly and moderately foamy (in the middle) white head. The lacing was somewhat there but slid for the most part.
The smell had a light sweet corn to it but there wasn’t much else.
The taste followed the aroma.
On the palate, this one sat fairly light on the body with a decent sessionable quality to it. The carbonation seemed appropriate for the style and for me. There was a decent smooth and crisp sweet corn finish.
Overall, decent pale lager that I tend to have whenever I visit relatives in PA and not a bad budget beer.

Catch up rating from notes, 2012: Case picked up at brewery while rolling through Northern PA. Brewery tour also pulls one of the line for you prior to capping and labelling. How's that for fresh? Pale golden, but clear, foamy head sticks around for a bit. Aroma is sweet malts, but very fresh and crisp. Taste is also kind of sweet, big on the grainy flavor, hint of hops finishes it. That case disappeared fast,there are benefits to being super fresh.

12 ounce can from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear medium golden color with a thin head. Fair head retention and poor lacing. Fairly straightforward toasted malt aroma with a faint grassy finish. The taste is grassy with some apple like fruit notes and faint malts in the finish. Thin bodied. Not bad for a macro lager.

bottle - Pours clear yellow and has a sugary, corn aroma. The flavor is mild, sweet, and sugary and that’s about it for this light bodied brew. The label bills it as "100% grain". I wondered how that’s a bragging point. I would hope no commercial brewer is using malt extract, so if by 100% grain they mean no extract, I thought, well duh. They don’t claim to be all malt. Grain could include additives like corn and rice. I suspect corn in this one. Anyway, this beer sucks.
