I personally don't care for the "grassy" taste grilling with the husks on adds to the corn.

Had a great, smoky flavor. Didn't add the butter. The burnt husks make quite a mess,, though. Have done this twice.

So simple and so easy to prepare; but the flavor is outstanding! I followed the recipe exactly and they were perfect!!! I will definitely be making this recipe again - the soak and keeping the husks really made sure that the corn didn't "dry out" on the grill. Moisture was the key with the slight salt flavor. I served with the butter, but didn't personally think it needed any so I just ate it plain. Grab some fresh ears from your local farm stand and enjoy!
