Grain Belt Premium

Brewed by August Schell Brewing Company
Style: Pale Lager
New Ulm, Minnesota USA

Had one of these at the Chainsaw Sisters Saloon near Ely, MN on my way out of the Boundary Waters. I didn’t get to pour it, but I’m sure it was yellow like most other American Pale Lagers. This beer has amazing palate for the style - full and really unbelieveably smooth. Well balanced malt and hop flavor. Very refreshing - just want I needed after 10 days out in BWCAW! 12 oz can, served pretty cold.

Light gold. Nose not particularly promising, very adjuncty, not good. This beer has actual body in a pale lager, simply amazing! Good palate, actually rolls around the tongue nicely, yet remains incredibly drinkable. LIghtly sweet. A few hops are here and, while they’re not detectable in the aroma, there’s enough in the flavor to actual give some bite. Sweet, crisp, and refreshing-this has to be one of the ultimate lawnmower beers.

12oz bottle: amazing, looks like urine beer but tastes far superior to any of the other macro urines. probably the perfect thing for fishing on a hot minnesota afternoon. tastes better than i remember it last time i had it, perhaps an improvement after schell’s purchase. simply a decent pale lager with absolutely no off flavors or nastiness.

A surprsingly good pale lager, as long as it is consumed fairly cold. Warmth brings out things that are not good. Clear straw body fizzy white head with not head retnetion. Sweet light and quaffable. More grain then corn which is always welcome.

Light pale birchwood color, grain aroma and corn like taste, slight bitterness from hops, needs to be extra cold

Way overrated here. Odor of grain. Almost no hops, and very over sweet. Heavy pronouced off taste from too much corn. A rough metallic bite in place of hops. The posterchild for Midwest corn beer.

Served in a 12oz bottle at the Doolittle American Grill ($3.50) Alexandria, Mn. Pours with two finger white head that goes slowly leaving a good lace. Clear pale amber color. Light carbonation and light bodied. Wet stainless steel nose. Starts with a hoppy citrusy flavor but weak, finish is clean since there is not much here. Good lawn mower beer.

Light golden color,grainy aroma with some corn and a slight attempt at hops.Taste of corn and grain kind of biting in a way and light on the hops.Nothing special except on a hot day.
