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.

Golden pour from a 12 oz bottle labelled "Lager of the Lake." Big white head that fizzles down to half and inch or so and stays there. Crisp, clean, hoppy aroma. Light rarified malt at the start with great dry hops finish. Great!
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
[2359-20090731] Bottle. Mild petrol leaves aroma has mild baby powder and chemical porta-potty hints. Clear, pale yellow body with a quick foamy white head. Solid woody yeast flavour. Light-medium body. Nice flavour balance but odd aroma.
(w/ others @ BCTC; Cooperstown, NY; Labelled "Lager Of The Lakes")
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz. "Lager of the Lakes" bottles from Bell’s batch code 9108. Light, crisp, mouthfeel but with an assertive, almost metallic, hop taste that stays on well into the aftertaste. Nothing like the flavor of Bell’s big ales, but a good session lager for hot weather. Somewhat more robust than Sierra Nevada’s Summerfest. Less sour than Pilsner Urquell, but without the latter’s characteristic softness on the palate.

Enjoyed on tap at the brewpub.Neutral aroma, very pale colour, lacey. Well carbonated, well balanced. Average mouthfeel. Refreshing for coming off the hot and dusty trail.
