Can. Slightly sour barley malt and grass aroma. Pale yellow color with moderate head. Light hint of malt in the flavor - otherwise not much different than carbonated water. Too bad - regular Old Style is decent but this, not so much. Get a bit more flavor leaving it in the can. On the plus side - there are no off flavors.

12 oz. bottle. This says "authentically krausened" on the label, so I’m guessing it goes here. Neck label says "Think Local, Drink Local." Hmph. There are a dozen brewers more local to Chicago than this Milwaukee-contracted product. BIG skunk when opened. I let it breathe, poured into a glass, let sit a few minutes, and it’s still there. Gets a tick for looking like a beer, pilsener color, but a very thin head… oh, wait, it’s gone now. Taste is, um, fizzy. Slight touch of bitterness, but otherwise it’s fizzy water. Nothing foul or rank about it, but it’s just a bottle of nothing.
