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

As "Lager of the Lakes" Light hay yellow color. Smells off-putting, but the flavor is ok. Taste of malts, slight honey sweetness, and light floral hops. A good pilsener except for the odd aroma.

Pours golden, white head. Clean, refreshing, finishes dry. Good summer session beer.

Pours a straw color with a thin white head that disipates quickly. To me this has a sweet almost honey aroma to it. A little bit crisp in the mouth, slightly sweet taste with a good hops bite. A decent beer.

Golden color with a rather large fluffy white head. A bit grassy in the aroma. Surprisingly hoppy at the finish in that czech sorta way. Sweet at the start. Medium carbonation. Enjoyable. A good compliment to scotch.

12many (276) - Alaska, USA - JUL 20, 2008
Bottle. Clear yellow with a small white head that doesn’t have much going for it. Light malt and lighter hops. Taste is sweet then a good bitterness at the end. Light to medium body with moderate carbonation. Not bad as an average beer.

llcooldave (722) - San Antonio, Texas, USA - JUL 19, 2008
Slight spicy hops aroma. Lemon yellow in color. Clean, no real flavor with a citrus aftertaste. Not bad... but I’d definitely not seek it out again.

pours a light transparant golden color with quickly disappearing head. scent is of wheat and a little hops. taste is of hops, and corn and wheat. finish is nice and smooth. I would purchase this again .

Light golden pour with white head. Tastes like a hoppier lager without the shitty aftertaste you find in most american pales. very refreshing and smooth. Light fruity notes in the head as well. Good brew.
