    Poured from a brown bottle, a nice clear golden color with white head. Cereal grains mainly on the nose; follows onto the palate. Finishes pretty clean and smooth.

    Had on a recent trip to Chitown. An average lager at best with nothing to separate it from the pack of craft lagers out there. A typical clear gold colour with a tight white head. Grass and vegetables permate the air and grainy malt dominates the tongue.

    For a simple lager, I thought this brew is rather tasty and smooth. The appearance and mouthfeel were nice as well as the flavor, although there was a bit of an 'off' flavor on the follow-thru that I can not quite put my finger on. Pretty good overall. BTW, I am probably a bit biased as I did my undergrad degree at UW-Stevens Point. Oh well...

    A very generic beer in every sense of the word, as nothing really stands out as great; good yes, but not great. Very drinkable with more flavor than some of the mass prodiuced brews - Miller/Bud, but not worth seeking out.

    Took the Point Brewery tour in Steven's Point, WI. Got the urge to try many cold Point Specials. All around a good beer with easy drinkability. I don't bother pouring this beer into a glass, no idea what color it is or what the head looks like...This beer was made for drinking.

    A very typical American lager, albeit more flavorful than a Bud or Miller. Pours a clear gold with some white head. Aroma and taste are pretty plain. Nothing special about this at all.

    The aroma is typical of an Americn lager with some skunk in the aroma and of grain. The appearance is a crisp, golden yellow with a full head on that is white. The mouthfeel is light with moderate complexity and a bit thin. The flavor surprised me and had hardly any skunk present and even is a bit creamy with a nice, wet finish. Overall, not as bad as I thought and typical of an American lager. It is a very smooth lager as well."

    Picked this up in a mix pack. Nothing interesting with this beer. Not a bad beer but there are plenty of beers better than this one. Closely resembled a light beer.

    A light bodied, golden lager which poured out a suprisingly large head due to all the carbonation in this beer. has sort of silky taste but not a lot of excitement.

    12 oz brown bottle. Pours a basic golden yellow color with a small white head. Lots of carbonation and there is a steady stream of bubbles. Light grain and corn smells. Flavor is the same, corn sweetness with light grainyness on the finish. Clean tasting with nothing offensive. Mouthfeel is pretty light, with lots of carbonation. A good brew for summertime. I'd probably have it again.
