Pale gold color with a large head. This stuff smelled like sweet corn that had been soaked in pure alcohol for weeks and then some rotten peas thrown in for good measure. Tastes like moldy corn and is overly sweet.

About as cheap as they come. The taste is so bad it almost make it interesting

Pours a clear golden with a white head. Aroma is grainy and sweet. Flavor is sweet, grainy corn, and a little butter.

Lost Lake is where it’s at when you need cheap beer. BINGO! You just hit the lotto. So you’re luck’s down. The economy sucks. Your girlfriend or wife no longer looks at you with the same amazement...or any amazement. Screw it, get drunk. Getting yelled or nagged at is always better with a buzz. Single? Screw it, get drunk. Why not. Old? Screw it, get drunk. It’s easy and rewarding. Sick? Screw it, get drunk? Being sick in bed is better with a buzz. In College? Screw it, get drunk! BEER PONG!!! A Professional? Get drunk. Life is always better with a buzz, so then it comes down to a few factors that this survey neglected to ask about. 1. What is the cost per buzz? This question has less impact if you have cash, but saving cash while drinking always allows you to do more with you’re flow. Save cash on a buzz, drink lost lake. 2. Most people can not even taste pizza when hammered, so can you really taste beer other than cold and alcoholic? NO WAY! It doesn’t matter at that point. 3. YOU CAN GET MASSIVE BELCHES! Thump your chest! You’re the champ, buddy. 4. You can give them away to your bro without his own beer, and not feel the pain like you would with a Unibrew. Scavengers need loving too. 5. Excellent in beer pong. You should really find out what Beer Pong is if you are unfamiliar. 6. Excellent in a beer bong(funnel). Yup, much better than Bud Light. 7. There are many reasons. I will summarize all else with this: It’s a dark night out in the valley. Wolves are moving around you. You’re tired, hungry, thirsty, and scared. You’re stumbling alone in the dark. The wolves close in! Lost Lake comes to the rescue! Some guy in a khaki uniform starts chucking cans of Lost Lake at the wolves! He appeared from some magician’s portal! LOST LAKE! He shoves a can in your hand! You can’t get this much excitement from Bud!

(can 3/28/11). Clear gold color. Medium white head. Moderate sweet malt aroma and flavor. Avg duration. Light dry finish with light lasting sweetness. Thin texture. Moderate carbonation. Fair lacing.

Woah! I found this old rating while flipping through my notebook! Apparently I never entered it. The beer pours very pale with a medium head that fades quickly. The aroma is fairly neutral with a little bread and corn. The flavor is crisp and a tad bit corny with some sweet fruitiness and a mild bit of snappy hoppiness. This is not offensive.

Can. A - Light fizzy, clear yellow - what you expect from the style. Somewhat large foamy, bubbly, sticky white head. Disappears pretty fast leaving no lace. S - Sweet cereal and corn aroma. Maybe a very little grassy hop aroma, but not much if there is some. T - Yep confirms the nose with a lot of sweet cereal and corn flavor. Fairly sweet flavor. Hints of grassy hop and apple fruitiness, but they are mostly dominated by the sweet cereal/corn. M - Very light body with a lot of carbonation. Pretty thin and watery. D - A little too sweet to really be drinkable. Not enough hop flavor to balance out the sweet cereal. Notes: It is what it is, a cheap adjunct lager. A little too sweet to really enjoy, but it isn’t horrible. There are better cheap lagers although I think there are worse ones (Beer 30).

24 oz can, .99 cents, not any worse than a high Life, if not better. a nice surprise for the price.

I am going to buy property on Lost Lake! I picked up a case of the "light" and i tell ya, for what this beer is, I Iove it. It will replace Busch Light in my fridge as my lawnmower/shovel the rink beer! (And for less than $10 a case!!!!!) I was watching "Intervention" on Netflix the other day and a guy was talking about how great a beer is in the shower. After an afternoon of shooting the puck around the lake with my son, i decided to give it a shot. Lost Lake in the shower... Pure Bliss!! I think the guy died of liver cancer shortly after the show went to post production but still one of lifes guilty pleasures. Thanks for the tip man.. wherever you are. :’)

This beer is light malt with a watery miuthfeel and slight dryness. At least I only had to drink 3 of them. Not a good beer. Cheers!

(12oz can thanks to swalden28) clear pale, white bubbles on top. Nose is very buttery, butterscotch, dried fruits. Taste of butterscotch and raisins.
