While I was told quite a couple times this beer was like a Corona- I really wouldn’t give it that much credit. Pours a translucent, bright golden colour with a medium size white head. Aroma is sort of grainy with a hint of grapefruit. Taste is watery, moderately malty on the palate with a corn like finish.

Light straw color with a somewhat fizzy head, even in the frosted mug. Mild grass, light dough and touch of chalk. Mild sweetness in front with a touch of malt and simple sugar. A touch grainy. A simple light brew.

Third stop during Wisconsin Trip #2 at the Legends Brewhouse in DePere. This brew is available at only the DePere location. Normally served with a slice of lime, I asked the bartender to hold the fruit. Straight on tap at the brewpub, it pours a light golden yellow brew with a lot of carbonation. The white head disappears quicky but gives a nice lacing. Aroma is very faint with characters of hay, light white enriched bread, and butter. Taste is very light with some toasted malt. Though a thin body, not very much finish to this one, some malted grain but nothing else that really stands out. Add the lime, ahhh, much better. Another above average light beer.
