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

burg326 (1056) - Florida, USA - APR 15, 2012
12 ounce bottle poured a light clear-ish golden color, aromas of biscuits, grass, and light yeast. Flavors are the same with a touch of hops added to it, not the best lager I’ve had but certainly not the worst either.

DavoleBomb (1143) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 25, 2012
Poured into a pils glass. 3.0 A: Clear light yellow color. Two fingers of foamy/frothy white head. Retention is average and no lacing is left. 3.5 S: Grassy hoppiness with a doughy/biscuity maltiness. Not overly complex, but pleasant. 3.5 T: Mild to moderate hop bitterness. Grassy and earthy hop taste. Super doughy with biscuity undertones. Mildly sweet overall. 4.0 M: Medium body. A like how this is a little thicker than most would brew. Good moderate carbonation. Good creaminess and smooth. 3.5 D: Not bad. I like myself a good lager from time to time. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 02-29-2012 02:33:06

Simple aroma and appearance but a satisfying and crisp hop taste with pleasant mouthfeel. Easy drinking beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Light gold, clear sweet yeast smell, taste completely skips the front of the mouth and goes straight back to light bitter hops and yeast. No aftertaste.

12oz bottle. Pours gold with a small white head. Light bready aroma. Thin with a flavor of light malts and grass. Not much else going on.

oteyj (1882) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 31, 2012
Clear yellow pour with a small white head. Great dough and crisp caramel malt lead to grainy hints, and a bready nectar finish. Light to medium body with a crisp clean finish.
