Huber Brewery's claim to fame is being the oldest Brewery in the midwest, pouring its first beer before Abe Lincoln decided to run for congress. It has changed hands over the years, producing a near-beer during prohibition. There is an impressive company time line on the website. The name premium beer comes from a time when beer production had poor sanitation and low consistency so many beers were bad tasting by modern standards.This looks like a beer that would be called something as plain as Premium Beer. Its got a clear gold color with lots of foam head. At a glance it looks like a Budweiser with more head. This beer is very foamy which it nice and fun. The smell has a little more floral hop aroma than a standard "beer".
The taste has some malt sweetness that isn't found in a standard "beer". There is no hop taste and almost no bitterness in this beer. The taste is pretty much just a light sweetness. I think this beer is too sweet, and I really would like some hops.
I sure some people in Monroe Wisconsin drink this beer and swear it's the greatest because it's from Monroe and from the oldest brewery in the midwest. I think its a fine everyday drinker for someone looking for a sweet beer short on taste, but I'm not looking forward to drinking another.

If I were to select a beer that emulated what beer tasted like in the 19th century, this is the beer that I would choose. Something about the beer tastes nostalgic.
Think of this as the beer for the man with a handlebar mustache and a high wheel bicycle.
