COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An exceptionally smooth taste in a premium draft beer. Cold filtered and brewed the Michelob way.

UPDATED: FEB 8, 2012 Typical thin, watery, pee beverage. Best cold on a hot day when at the lake. I like to float a 12 pack as we swim off the boat. Throw your buddy a beer. If it sinks, goes too far, or floats away there really is no loss. Additionally, the lake water adds flavor.

For the style it’s not bad looking, light tan with a fair head but not much lace. Smell is subdued without a whole lot of anything specific. Grains and a tinge of lemony citrus. Taste brings out the citrus a bit more, plenty of grass and grains, and a tinge of sweetness with a dry finish. Body is extremely light and pretty well carbonated. It’s what it is. For the style you can consume it but overall it’s nothing you’d want to trade for or mention twice.

seymour (602) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - OCT 28, 2011
Drank direcly from bottle. Clear, very light golden color with fluffy white foam which quickly subsided. Almost no aroma except hints of white bread and fermented corn flakes. Malt sweetness and hops bitterness are completly neutralized, the only thing you’re left with is a fizzy, metallic mouthfeel with slightly more body than water.

In a "fishbowl" at Rigazzi’s in St Louis. Pours clear golden with a white had. Typical unoffensive and easy to drink lager, certainly better than some of ABI’s offerings.

Serving glass: Poured from can into Pint glass. Appearance: Clear golden with a surprisingly sustained stark white bubbly head. That said, the strange neon cast to the color is distracting. Aroma: Muted grainy malts with lots of corn. Slight hay and spice. Taste: Very little, mostly sweet grains (corn) with a small hay-like balance. virtually no hops. Palate: High carbonation, very light body. Too much like carbonated water. Overall: Not worth it.

It was free on the brewery tour, so you get what you paid for. Just like the golden draft regular, but nothing special.

Date: July 31, 2011 Mode: Can Source: Church Fundraiser, Prescott, WI Bought this as a donation and to get the rating. Slightly better than the other garbage light beers but just a little more flavored water.

No real difference in this from regular Michelob Golden Draft, other than the alcohol content.
