I’ve had this a few times only on draft at Comerica during the Kid Rock show, at Cheli’s, the Clarkston Union and the Machine Shop in Flint. Everything but the Machine Shop has been consistent (I think it was the wrong keg at the Machine Shop, but it could’ve been an early test batch). The beer...typical lager color (no head) and tastes light with a little bit of a hop flavor that gives it more taste than the typical domestic lager. There is no aftertaste so it succeeds as a good refreshing tailgating beer that’s an easy drinker. I’d definitely buy it as a daily drinker. I think the Kid has achieved what he set out to accomplish.

(Sampled 5.19.12)- 12 oz. bottle served in shaker- poured a very transparent light yellow color- even more so than your standard pale lager- medium carbonation, heavy nose of corn. Hits the mouth with a thin body, malt is just pure corn, hops and sugar round out the experience. It was all that bad, helped us to cool down since the cabin didn’t have air conditioning and it hit 96 outside.

Pours straw with malt notes. Typical American brew that has more malt than the big massed produced lagers. I thought it was good for what it is. Keep an open mind.

I like Kid Rock’s music , but not his beer if you want to call it that. It is clear almost no color and is skunky. Smells kind of bad. And does not taste much better. Was really disappointed by this one.

I have passed on this numerous times because I didn’t expect it to be good and I don’t buy beer just to tick it. Okay, I admit I bought this just to tick it because the brewery is not producing and I got a bottle for $1.49. No reviewer is going to tout the aroma or the palate. This is basic American standard beer, big on the corn. Its not as bad as I thought it would be. . . it is an alternative to BMC, but I won’t choose it over any half-decent craft brew.

i bought this since it is soon to be a semi-rarity, now that the brewery has been foreclosed upon. just as expected, it’s not very good, but i have had worse. straw colored, with minimal head. corn and water seem to be the main components.

From notes. First reviewed 2/22/2011. I’ll be honest here. I bought this for the label and bottlecap. Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass. This is one of the lightest beers I have seen. Nearly completely clear and transparent, there is a little straw yellow color to convince me this is not Sprite. A fluffy white head puffs up with the pour, fades to a film and leaves some spotty lace on the glass. Biscuity malt with a hint of honey-like sweetness. Other faint grains make an appearance in the nose. I get a light buttered popcorn aroma as well. The taste is light biscuity malt at first, followed by a fairly malt sweetness. A light toasted grain flavor joins, leading to some light noble hops. The finish is grainy and sweet. The mouthfeel is slightly grainy, not quite crisp enough. The carbonation looked like it was there after pouring, only to hide a little bit during each sip. Mostly clean, with a light to medium body. Well, the low ABV and moderately sweet nature of this beer guarantees that it would disappear by the glass were I at some summer event.

Really bad, drank it out of the bottle the way it was intended. I know a lot of micro breweries have trouble making crisp lager beer. I read in the reveiws that "Buffet’s beer is worse" I disagree. Both are plain, but this is plain undrinkable.

Grandma, although meaning well, bought a six pack of this for Xmas. I knew it would be bad, but good lord this stuff is nasty. Mr. ex-Pam Anderson must have ate a bushel of sweet corn and Michigan Brewing Co. collected his next piss and bottled it. Shame...shame...shame.

bottle... clear thin straw, ugly, but a nice retentive head... the aroma is terrible, literally smells like ass, corn... taste is even worse, corn watery, a bad malt liquor... pass

bottle. Obviously didn’t set any expectations on this beer and it was exactly what I expected. But hats off and good luck to Kid Rock - I know many people who will by this based on the name alone.
