COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
As refreshingly crisp as a morning swim in a Great Lake, this brew is crafted with Pils and Munich malts. The pronounced hop character of this golden lager sparks thoughts of sandy beaches and rocky islands.

Hazy yellow with big floaties in this bottle. Aroma of grass and citrus. Taste is dry, with piney hops and long bitter finish. Great American-style pilsener. "Premium Lager" my ass.

StefanSD (1541) - Lakeside, California, USA - NOV 10, 2010
12 oz bottle courtesy of trade with manny57. Pours a translucent straw yellow color with a huge foamy white head that has great retention. The aroma is mild with spicy cereal grains and malts. The flavor is mild grains, yeast, biscuit and spicy hops. The palate is light and unsatisfying with soft carbonation. Finishes short with a bit of lingering saccharine sweetness. Overall: Good for a pale lager.

sbanach (176) - USA - NOV 9, 2010
Poured from bottle. Smells grainy, fruity. Appearance is great. Yellow hue, frothy white head that doesn’t dissipate. Taste is light malt, mostly pils hops, palate is full mouth feel, slight fruity I can’t put my finger on. highly carbonated. Aftertaste is crisp and refreshing. No session brew, but great to sit around for a couple.

lithy (2913) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 7, 2010
Pale yellow, loose white foam that sticks to the glass. Aroma is corn meal, sweet vanilla, light malt. Taste is more sweet vanilla, prickly carbonation, lighter corn.

craftbeerdesign (1831) - Alpharetta, Georgia, USA - NOV 5, 2010
bottle. pours a straw yellow with a slim white head. subtle grain nose with some light hops and lemon. solid body for a lager.... nice round medium body with a solid level of crisp bitterness. a touch of spice on the sides. more grain notes throughout. great crisp citrus finish. outstanding lager from Bells.... perfect summer beer.

Suttree (3759) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - OCT 31, 2010
This is another one of those "I can’t believe I haven’t rated this one" beers. Pretty basic -yellow, nice dense white head. Grainy, mildly hoppy aroma. Flavor is pretty much what the aroma promises - grain and light hops. Not a bad session beer.

JDBaker11058 (616) - Maryland, USA - OCT 24, 2010
Appearance: bright, clear sunny yellow with lots of bubbles. Aroma: sweet grains, maybe some honey, and mild hops. Taste: crisp, honeyed grains. Finish: short and clean. Notes: Delightful lager. Worlds better than the standard American version. Perfectly drinkable. Bell’s just rocks.

pauls_parade (298) - Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA - OCT 18, 2010
Clear, straw colored with a short white head that clings to the glass. German malt aroma, biscuit, noble hops, fresh cut grass. Medium-bodied, medium carbonation, dry finish. Biscuity and dry. A decent pilsner.
