*Lager of the Lakes* bottle pours near clear yellow with minimal spotting of whitish head. Aroma is grassy hop and grain. Flavor is starchy, musty, and hugely grassy. A semi-sweetness on the tail end but finishes with a decent light bitterness. Didnt like this, but the bottle could be old.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Transparent pale gold yet shimmering and effervescent with a bubbly white head. Nose is crisp and sweet, lots of bread and slight grass, citrus. Not much in the way of hops though. Flavor is sweet honey and lots of bready malt, but there is enough of a hop presence to balance with bitterness. Finish is a little too sweet. A little watery but also refreshing, I was expecting worse than this and am pleasantly surprised.

Bottle. Pours an effervescent pale yellow with a thin, creamy white cap. Nose is grassy, just a bit skunky. Taste is crisp and grassy, with a dry, cracker-like malt note. Leads to a light, lingering bitterness on the clean finish. Light body and light carbonation, but never watery. Nice pils.

Bell’s Lager of the Lakes at Zingermanns Roadhouse on November 28, 2008. Extremely light color, no detectable aroma - I have a bad nose. Flavor is extremely light, as is its body. A little bitter, reminds me of a Mexican lager.
