Draft from notes. Very average and innofensive beer. Slightly sweet with corn and grains. Light and very drinkable. Good.

12 oz twist off bottle generously given to my by my friend Derek. 060112 010826 printed on the clear bottle. The pour is clear copper with a small fizzy off white head. The aroma is a different floral perfume sweet, along with more normal malt sweetness. The taste is caramel sweet malt, the floral (almost potpourri) of the nose, and some fruit sweetness in the back. It tastes a touch synthetic. The palate is light bodied, overly carbonated and watery in the finish. I have a family history with Grain Belt, so I had wanted to try this beer - thanks Derek.

Bottle, at my dad’s house. Did NOT care for regular Grain Belt as made by Schell’s, but this is the rule-breaker. I notice they’re not declaring so in their description, but this tastes like an all-malt amber. Decent "beer" smell after pouring, no sweet adjuncty notes. Amber colored body under a stiff white head. Drinks easily, and agrees more with the Vienna style (or the historic lagers like Yuengling). The usual plain beer mouthfeel, but again the all-malt brew is apparent and appreciated, although further on there may be a touch of corn or ricew. Hops are not too distinct, probably just the basic Noble varieties lending a bit of a prickle in the back of my mouth.

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.

Tap at the 1029 in NE Mpls. I was hoping for something in like an oktoberfest or vienna. Rather, this is a beer that is just a shade darker than regular premium, and less sweet, barely. This is without a doubt a very sweet beer. I was hopeful that Schells might make something interesting with this one. It is hard to imagine beer this sweet coming out of Grainbelt in 1893.
