Commercial Description:
This smooth lager strikes a delicate balance between malt and hops in the aroma, palate, finish and body. It has more body and less hops than a Pilsner, and less malt and more hops than a Munich style lager. 30 IBU.

A great flagship beer. An unusual style that has been perfected by Great Lakes. I always enjoy having this beer around the house. Not too malty, but still very good.

Poured a beautiful dark golden with lots of bubbles. NIce head. This is really an outstanding beer, one that I would definitely order in a bar or with a meal. Not too heavy but very very nice

Initial taste is of a typically over dry lager. But in all fairness to it, it is a helles... so, on second sip I noticed a world of difference. Pale golden yellow with a nice bubbly head. Light malts and a medium hop flavour. This is a very decent brew.

Bottle. Pours golden yellow. Bright white bubbly head. Slight hops aroma. Flavor was rich hops and malt. Light aftertaste of hops. Nice full bodied lager. I wouldn’t hesitate to drink this again.

Bottle: Pours golden in color with a small white head. Smells of fruit, some kind of berry. Taste was similar, maybe blackberry or raspberry in flavor, but certainly not like a lambic... Just a hint of fruit. Very good and enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Strong honey malt aroma. Orange yellow with small head. Sharp hops flavor initially followed by a nice smooth sweet malt. Moderate hops aftertaste. A great beer.

Clear amber body with a thin white head. Sweet light floral hop aroma. Sweet fruity flavor with some light citrus and grassy hops.
