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

Location/Date:Bottle on December 2nd, 2011.

Appearance: LIght copper clear.
Aroma: Aroma is light, faint malt, and not skunky like bls!
Taste: Lighter hop with some lingering sweet malt.
Palate:Palate is slick, a bit fizzy and carbonated, quick finish.

Summary: With this rating I surpass my friends in ratings of Bell’s beers!(Ben is currently at 17, I’m at 18). A solid lager but not my favorite style.

Tap @ Bells. Clear, golden appearance with a small, off white head. Slight citrusy, grassy hoppy, crisp golden malty aroma. Golden, pale malty flavor with hints of fruits, straw, and grass.

Tap at Eccentric Cafe. Light malt, and peach aroma... very nondescript aroma. Yellow with a small white head and a bit of lacing. Malt and bread flavor with a light hop bitterness.

I’m double stunned. I’m stunned by this low flavored swill by Bells (usually their brews are outstanding) and I’m stunned by the many high ratings of it. Average pour, average appearance, average aroma, average flavor. This is no better nor worse than anything Bud or Miller would slop out of their c*nt. For shame Bells, for shame!!!!!!!�

ROGUE (1315) - Newark, Delaware, USA - SEP 23, 2011
12oz bottle. Pours a pale golden color with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of slightly sweet light malt and grassy notes over a faint yeast smell. Tastes of light malt and potent grassy hops with a faint lingering sweetness and a mild grassy bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and a light to moderate body.

Clear golden color, small persistent head, good lacing. Taste of malt and light grass followed by light clean bittering, moves quickly to a short finish. Nothing at all negative, but....that’s mostly due to the inoffensive presentation. Nice easy session beer.

paultheguru (631) - Orlando, Florida, USA - SEP 12, 2011
Golden color, white head, moderate lacing...not over the top. Clean and crisp aroma, solid malty smell with a spicy hop aroma. Tastes of tropical fruit, smooth, very crisp. etc. very impressive.
