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

Hoptagon (223) - Arlington, Virginia, USA - APR 19, 2008
12 oz. Bottle. "Lager of the lakes". Ultra pale color with a medium foamy white head. Not much in the way of aroma, detected some noble hops and a bit of pale malt. Flavor is crisp with subtle malt flavor and grassy hop character. Mouthfeel is fizzy as the beer is highly carbonated. Finish is quick and somewhat dry. Basically this tastes like a slightly upgraded version of a mass produced American lager.

Pours a typical (maybe better) transparent gold. Minimul head that dissapears into a thin lace. Definately a finer carb then most macros. Floral nose. It has a medium hoppy flavor with a mildly dry finsh. Nothing to spectacular. Better then the macros but there are others in this style i would rather drink.

riversideAK (4374) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - APR 4, 2008
Bottle from Stine. Thanks Eben. Pale gold color. Aroma of German malt and a touch of grassy hops. Not a ton of flavor, but a great strong hoppy crispness that accompanies the light bready pilsner malt. A fantastic thirt quencher and palate cleanser.

WisconsinBeer (659) - St. Paul, Minnesota, USA - APR 2, 2008
12 oz bottle. Color is pale yellow with a minimal head, on first sight it could be easily confused for a macro. Aroma is light grain. Flavor is grain and mild malt, with a bit of grassy hop in the middle. Finish is slightly sweet. Being a lager, it has it’s limitations, but overall isn’t bad.

crowderm (315) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAR 27, 2008
Light golden color with a thin white head. The aroma is pretty mild, some slight herbal hop notes and thats about it. The flavor is clean, mild hops with a nice big honey sweetness coming through mid sip. The mouthfeel is pretty smooth, but maybe a little over carbonated. Pretty good beer.

Practically brilliant, little head. Clean aroma, some sulfury. Clean, very dry. Much carbonation though still velvety.

Clean soft herbal nose with mild grass notes. Mildly honeyed body with good mouthfeel and conditioning. Nice quaffable session brew.
