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

Overall, not bad but one of Bell’s weaker beers. A simple pilsener with no bite and average flavor. Good for those domestic fans looking to "baby-step" up.

12oz bottle from Orland Park Binny’s single rack. Aroma is some floral hops, grains, and some light fruits. Flavor is light hops, grain, wheat, and some pale malt and very light citrus. Finish with grains and very light hops bitterness. Medium mouthfeel and nice carbonation. This is actually a great summer beer and an awesome beer to bring to a party for people who drink macros. I would actually buy a six pack of this.

beachbum25 (1033) - Powellville, Maryland, USA - NOV 6, 2009
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...

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.
