Tasting: Grain Belt Premium, New Ulm, MN
Appearance: The yellow of Schweppes Ginger-Ale or generic diet grapefruit soda. Thin rim of head, no lacing.
Aroma: Skunk cabbage in main growth, with a hint of pond water.
Taste: Skunk cabbage continues through from aroma, with not-entirely-pleasant sweet and sour notes.
Mouthfeel: Somehow thinner than tapwater, and yet completely unrefreshing; carbonation is both prickly and muddy.
Finish: As little as shows up in the front, the back end of this beer leaves a lingering unpleasantness, old-cabbage DMS presenting at the last moment.
Overall impression: This is the post-modern ironic ideal of American Pale Lager.
