Thanks to Skyview for sharing. This is a little light for a helles, and appears filtered. Gold color. corn and light malt. Loads of carbonation. Simple but not bad.

Refreshing citrus and grain nose. Barley body with a crisp, smooth finish. Golden color with minimal head. Thanks to skyview for sharing!

Picked up a six pack from Bob’ s McFarland’s liquors in McFarland, WI, brought back to Minnesota to share at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Friday evening beer tasting. Pours a pale light golden brew with a thin off white fizzy head. Dissolves quickly to a fine film. Aroma of some citrus, light barely malt, some beets/corn character, and a touch of multi grain biscuits. Taste is highly carbonated, light clean cut and crisp. Finish is a bit flat and light body. Served below 40 degrees and you have an excellent lawn mower beer. I am happy to see this historical beer has resurfaced to the Madison, WI market since it first disappeared in 1965.

On tap @ Gray’s Tied House, 5/15/07. Pours a clear honey golden with a two and a half finger yellowish white head--@ least it’s creamy since I only have 10oz of beer now. Good retention, nice lacing throughout. Aroma was light citrus and biscuits. Flavor was a bit lemony and biscuity--maybe even some light corny grain and sugar cookies--with a lightly sweet biscuity finish. At some point there were some grassy hops. Very low bitterness at its peak. Moderate carbonation, light body. Pretty decent.

Maybe it’s the cold I’m currently fighting, but this beer has very little taste. Very dissapointed with this beer.

Tasted at Great Taste of the Midwest. Yellow/gold in appearance. Very malty with some bitterness. Quite grainy tasting. I wasn’t impressed, but this isn’t a preferred style of mine. FWIW, the others in the group I was with really enjoyed this. It was a small sample size, so I’d definitely like to try it again and possibly re-rate.
