Aug 5, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured a lighter and hazy golden color with a smaller sized head. Aromas of toasted grains. Tastes of grains with some corny sweetness. Thin body.

does not count  May 24, 2008 picked this sixer up at binny’s by maxwell street. the owner was on-scene and gave us the story behind the beer. this is a recreation of a historic chicago beer whose brewery went out of business in the 60’s. decided to check it out and support a local brewmeister. the corn sweetness of this beer is not to my liking. good concept, poor execution.

Sep 20, 2007 Not a bad beer and seemingly adjunct free. I think this should perhaps be changed to the Premium Lager category. Unfortunately, no info to be gleaned from the website concerning its ingredients, ABV, and the like. From the bottle it pours a golden yellow body with a steady stream of bubbles and a tall creamy head. The aroma has sweet grainy malts with traces of herbal bitterness. Smooth, obviously properly lagered. The taste is light, toasted grains and honey with a touch of herbs. If this had a more serious hopping, it’d be a decent lawnmower beer.

Aug 14, 2007 Golden to light bronze color with a fizzy off-white head that dissipates to a few bubbles on the edge of glass as I type this. Caramel and grain silage aromas along with some simple toasted whole grain bread. Malty, but not necessarily in a way that I like it. Has a light rancid nut and Damp toasted malt and grain flavor. Somewhat fizzy in feel, but not watery. This just seem like a poorly put together brew. To be honest something I would make with the leftover grains when I was homebrewing.

Apr 19, 2007 What a lovely brew. It’s complex, a tiny bit hoppy but not too much, a little bit sweet but not too much, substantial, refreshing, and satisfying. The nose is herbal, and the palate is light but not thin. There are elements of sage and desert herbs in the tongue, a tiny bit of sharpness to balance out a lovely pilsner fullness. I can’t express how much I like this beer. I think it’s a little heavy for an after-mowing-the-lawn beer, but it’s wonderful for with-dinner or an after-dinner beer.
