COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The rich amber color and caramel flavor of this beer are derived from the generous amount of caramel malt in our recipe, with just a dash of roasted unmalted barley for a subtle toasted flavor in the background. The sweetness, body, and mouth feel tell you that this is an all-malt beer. The finish has a balanced edge of Willamen and Casade hoppiness which cuts through the malty character, leaving a clean palate which beckons for more. Note: the terminology of "stein" refers to the appropriate drinking vessel and not to a type of beer made with hot rocks.

A glorious amber with a rich malty taste, mild hoppiness and a rich, almost creamy finish.

Love this beer. Its starts out malty and finishes with hop. The sweetness in very memorable. I love this style of beer, and Lakefront’s offering is better than most others.

Pours a nice almost red amber in my proper 1 liter stein. I put three bottles of it in there and have to say its alllllright. At first its pretty malty and it leaves sort of a metallic aftertaste, witch in this case is not a bad thing, but I have gotten used to the wheat beers in my stein. I will stick to my franizkaner but a nice change.

Beautiful deep amber color with nice carbonation and a medium head. This beer is very smooth with a hint of sweetness. Very Good!

lagermeister (13) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - APR 1, 2012
On tap. Pours a nice rich creamy head. Coppery color accents the malty aroma. Sweet taste on the first sip, then a rush of hops. Milwaukee’s best Vienna style lager.

Best all malt lager there is. caramel malt with spicy hops that tickle your tongue. Finishes smooth. Very tempting aroma, which is better accentuated when Riverwest is drank from a stein or mug, hence the name. No corn or rice makes this brew very nice.

Clearly their flagship beer. Nice dark appearance. Great full flavor. Not too hoppy. Good Head. Wonderful finish. Leaves me wanting more. Should be sold nationally.

Medium to full body. Lakefront produces some of the best beer in Milwaukee.
