Bottled as Lager of the Lakes. Pours a clear, light golden color with small white head. Aroma of cereal malt, some fruit and light hops. Taste is slightly yeasty with a mild hop bitterness. Dry finish.Nice simple brew.

Gold lager pour. Citrus/pine aromas. Grainy malt flavors with Saaz hops. It is what it is supposed to be. Very clean finishing. Had this many years ago. I remember this being extreamly average, considering Bell’s standards. To be honest, the neatest thing about it is the bottle art.

12 oz, "Lager of the Lakes" version, batch 8654. Pale golden with a large and lasting head that covers the glass with frost. Aroma of lemongrass and grain is tempered with a bit of honey. Flavor is a nice mixture of the same, with some delicate dry-grass bitterness on the finish. Near-medium body is smooth with a nice tongue tingle and an almost crisp-dry finish.

Straw colored clear pour with a white head. Nice carbonation. Grainy yeast aroma with some fruit. Malty flavor with some yeast and a nice bitter hop finish. Decent lager.
