12 oz bottle-Batch 9250-Lager of the Lakes bottle-Light golden pour w/a slight white head. Grassy floral hop aroma. Pretty dry, grass/grain, bread dough/biscuit/toast, some citrus/lemon. Was really expecting a little more based on this brewers rep. Not really very refreshing...just too dry. Long bitter finish.

Batch 9250 - Thanks beachbum25! - Pours a clear golden with a small white head...aroma is grainy and grassy, lager skunk and a bit of bread...flavour is dry malt, old grain, lightly bitter and it lingers, not much to speak of beyond that...

Pours a pale gold with a nice and lasting thick foamy white head. Aroma is grassy hop, light lemon tones and some cracker/biscuity maltiness. Flavour is again grassy hop dominating. some biscuity malt tones. Light bitter finish.

Bottle of batch #8961 at the Winking Lizard Crosswoods location. Pours cloudy gold/orange with a huge white head. Malty aroma with a bit of citrus hop and very crisp. Crisp citrus hop flavor up front with a nice malt balance before a bitter finish. One of the better beers of this style I’ve had for sure.

BPW #40 Served on tap at Kalamazoo Brewing Co./Eccentric Café. Appearance is light yellow gold with a thin white head. Light pale malts for flavor and aroma. Nothing too exciting but it is a lager.
