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.
2011 vintage - 5.0% abv

ekstedt (3624) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - DEC 31, 2009
Bottle (35 cl), thanks gnoff. Shady pale golden, small head. Grainy, slightly skunky, malt aroma with notes of burnt rubber. Light to medium bodied, a bit flat carbonation. Dry with medium carbonation. A disappointment, bad bottle?

Most disappointing beer I’ve tried from Bells yet, and I’ve tried most of what is available in bottles.

weihenweizen (632) - West Virginia, USA - DEC 29, 2009
Refrigerated bottle poured into a pilsner glass. Descent carbonation, has some head that disappears and some lacing. It pours a light yellow color and has good body for a pilsener. Aroma is light hops. Taste is crip hops and finishes a little dry. Overall this is pretty good for a pilsener.

BVery (1966) - Burnsville, Minnesota, USA - DEC 28, 2009
Tap. Pale gold pour, small white head. Pretty standard pils aroma and taste, but done a little better than the macros. Something for the masses, I guess.

Rciesla (5500) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - DEC 28, 2009
Bottle. Pours a pale golden body with a white head. Doughy yeast y bready notes, some cracker tones. Light grass y herbal character with floral tones an and a lightly bitter drying finish. Decent pils.

LilBeerDoctor (2568) - East Setauket, New York, USA - DEC 15, 2009
Bottle. Pours a clear light yellow with a small white head, very piss-like. Aroma of sweet wheat malt, bready malt. Flavor of stale bready malt, a touch of light fruits but only slight. I’m a bit disappointed with this beer -- overall, a boring pale lager. 6/3/5/3/11 [2.8/5]

for a pils this is pretty good. but in the end its another pils. Light hops, medium malt, lagerish flavors and smells.
