Bought as Bell’s Lager of the Lakes. Pours a very nice golden color. The initial taste is very good but I think it has a very bitter aftertaste that does not taste good at all. Would not buy this beer myself

Bottle from Tj’s. Drank this last night. Tasted like a typical lager. A great lawnmower beer, but I doubt I will buy more of it when I can get PBR for much cheaper. No flaws detected and good thirst quencher.

Nothing special here. citrus aroma, clear yellow color. Slightly bitter throughout. Would be a decent summer beer.

12 oz bottle, pours a golden yellow, with foamy white head. Aroma of fresh barley and fresh, slightly bitter hops. Taste is of malt, grass, and hops, very quenching and crisp mouthfeel. A very nice lager, great for summer!

Bottle from Sam’s in Durham. Poured a small white head on top of a bright light golden body. Went out on my porch for two minutes and the head had all but disappeared. Just a few thin wispy nimbus-like streaks floating atop and a microbubbles around the edges. That was a disappointment, though Bell’s has never carbonated their beers all that much. Anyway, to the smell and taste... minimal aroma: grain and minimal Saaz. A little metallic. Similar taste, though the hops hit hard and nicely bitter, ending crisply if a bit metallic. Solid summer quaff.

A standard but tasty lager - slightly buttery aroma - very smooth and moderately malty through the middle, back ended by noble hop bitterness - gets a little peppery and grassy in the finish - a solid beer.
