3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, thanks to kosko20. Gold pour with some white head; visible carbonation. Aroma is some bready malt and light floral / earthy hops. Flavor is slightly sweet grainy czech malt / earthy hops. Not bad.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pale yellow in color and a thin white head typical of a pilsener. Flavor comes off crisp and almost soapy at first. There is some mild malt flavor behind it, but its very thin. Palate is quite boring actually. This would go well with a big meal, but nothing special on its own.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This is the first bells I’ve had that I feel is below a good level of quality. While it is certainly above the macros it is no where near their other offerings. Pours light clear yellow with medium head. Only a medium full mouth of a taste and even close to being watery. got it to try because their other beers are so superior. This is not one of those and I’ll not be buying it again

3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a soft pale gold with some haze. Nice carbonation. Head is about one finger thick and white. The aroma is sweet and bready, mostly on the malt side, some grassy hops. Has a prominent hop bitterness in the flavor, more dominating than in the nose. A bit chalky, kind of astringent. Leaves a piney hop bitterness in the back of the mouth.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Poured a light to golden yellow with a big white head. Aroma was grassy, some corn and a hint of hops. Flavor was pretty bland but nothing offensive. Not good, but definately good for the style imho.

Bottle as "Lager of the Lakes" from Vintage Cellar. Brassy gold color with a slight white head. Aroma is rather bready, and I don’t get hop. Thin to medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is bitter over some light pale malt. Somewhat grassy bitter with a little spice in the end. Good lager.
