This was one of the Calumet beers I didn’t care for that much. Luckily it was the first one I drank. Still a good beer, just not on the same levels as some of the other Calumet ales.

Clear yellow with small off-white head. Aroma is mild sweet, grassy. Taste is mild sweet, medium grassy, finishes lightish grassy bitter. Light/medium body. Great summer beer!

Least favorite of the rowland’s brews so far. Its still a pretty good beer.

Very good, rather sweet, medium-carbonated Pils; clear light yellow, grassy flavor, fairly malty and strong finish.

Fourth stop during Wisconsin Trip #2 and one of 11 brews offered at this small town brewpub. Pours a light pale yellow brew with a short lived foam head. Very good lacing. Aromas picked up are light barley malt, bananas, a touch of pineapple and flowery hops. Taste is sweet, medium body with a clean finish.

No head, yellow body. Good hop balance.. more Czech/German-type hops, that seem a bit green and fresh. Quite like the Kolsh, but a bit sweeter and the hops seem fresher.

I went to my home town the other night and there was noone out that I knew. So instead of hanging with the hicks in Cheers I got the idea to hit up my good friend Bob Rowland for a couple of brews, since he was the only person in any of the bars in chilton that I actually new. I had to try this beer because this girl sitting next to me had some and she wanted me to try it, so I did. It was good for the most part. It had a lot more taste than say bud light, or milwaukee's best light, or something like that. I was a beautiful golden color and tasted a bit sweet. Bob wanted me to try some of his other beers, but I was kind of getting tipsy, so I said, "No Bob, It's Ok, I will be back later. I don't want to drive too drunk tonight." I hate Chilton hicks, especially all the old ones who hang out at cheers and drink shitty bud light. Well I guess it's like I always say, "I would rather drink good beer than hang out with stupid hicks who drink bud light at Cheers." Bob you rock!

ahh, yes, the classic pilsner. This is a more malty beer of the style as the desription says. also, the grassy-ness is also very strong, almost too strong. nonetheless, this would make a great beer on a hot Wisconsin july day!
