Full bodied, but it has this funny taste to it, almost like wood alcohol. Like most beers from Huber it’s horrible.

Mini-keg. I am perplexed as to how this rates more than in the negatives. I must have had a skunked keg because it smelled and tasted like week-old gym socks. Awful.

12oz bottle labeled Prairie Lager. Clear pale yellow color. Pungently sweet, off aroma. Adjuncty, sweet body. This is really a crappy beer line, or they have a poor bottling system, or both. It was almost tolerable when ice cold, but when it warms the off flavors really shine.

Sampled in Davenport, IA. Pours a golden yellow. Aromas of light grains/grass/ and a hint of hops. Has a fresh crisp taste.

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a pale yellow body topped by a small head of white foam. Aroma is of grain and grass, while light is better than most pale lagers. Initially sweet, then transitioning to bitter, this lager has a larger flavor profile than other pale lagers. A slight caramel nuttiness with a crisp finish. For a lager, this had a surprising semi-complexity. I could drink this again.

Bottle. Slight grassy aroma. Flavor of grassy hops, a touch of sweetness and some sort of nuttiness...maybe almond? I found the carbonation a little agressive. Pretty solid for a pale lager.
