This brew is a clear pale golden color with a medium thin white head that dissipates pretty fast. Minimal lacing. Typical Lager aroma of malt, grain and light hops. Light-bodied and crisp with mild grassy hops, corn and malt flavor. The finish is mildly bitter hops and the aftertaste is actually decent, saving the beer from being a compete snooze.

Clear straw color with a medium thin white head with fair retention. Minimal lacing. Aroma of light grassy hops and a hint of malt. Light-bodied and crisp at first but becomes watery right away. Mild grassy hops flavor, along with a bit of sweet malt. The finish is carbonated with very little flavor aside from a touch of hops. Although boring, it is decent for a Light beer.

Not that bad. I had it a while ago, and must say that it is quite refreshing. Not as special as some of the other beers I have had recently, but a good change from the macro brews I normally drink.

Bottled. U.S. Beer 30 of 31 for American Beer Month! Somehow, I lived in northeastern PA for two years without ever hearing of this one. Not that it’s a great discovery, mind you. The usual pale, pale pour under the usual thin head. A very light lager taste. At least it’s decently done for its style. Just a hint of malt, and some hops in its beery smell. There’s even a bitter aftertaste, which is more than any macro can claim these days. At least it has a nice marketing attitude.

I have never encountered anything drinkable from Straub and this beer proved to be no exception. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an extremely light pale yellow with a medium sized bleach white head. The aroma is sweet and grassy. The flavor is sour and grassy with a light sour tang and a dry finish. Not good but less offensive than their regular beer.

Super clear light golden coloured body with a thin white head. Aroma of skunk, pale malt, some light sugars and nothing else good. Light-bodied; Rough initial flavour of malt and skunk then following with a super bland watery taste. Aftertaste completely gone, nothing left in the palate at all. I guess thats better than a skunky flavour. Overall, not a great beer, but nice to try. I sampled this twelve ounce beer given to me by my brother-in-law on 14-November-2004.

16 oz returnable bottle. Pours light and golden. Medium head. Strong grassy aroma. The flavor is that of a freshly mown lawn. Heavily carbonated. There is a weird aftertaste I can not identify. "Beer in all it’s glory" the bottle says. Whoever wrote that is a fool. I bought 2 cases because I needed the bottles to homebrew with. 46 of the bottles got dumped down the drain. Normally I would feel guilty about the waste of beer, but in this case I feel like a better man for having done it.

Pale straw colour. Aroma of corn, with possibly some fleeting grassy hop. Sweet, watery palate. Finish of corn and water. Not awful, just empty.
