| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 5, 2008 Bottle: Lager of the Lakes. Pours a clear light yellow with a two-finger, fluffy white head. Aromas of Czech hops, lemongrass, sweet malt. Taste is similar- not too watery and very hoppy. Aftertaste is very dry and bitter like a good Czech pilsner. ansermadide (529), Kyle, Texas, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 4, 2008 Bell’s Lager of the Lakes at Zingermanns Roadhouse on November 28, 2008. Extremely light color, no detectable aroma - I have a bad nose. Flavor is extremely light, as is its body. A little bitter, reminds me of a Mexican lager. kseecs16 (914), Naperville, Illinois, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Consensus: poop on the nose. Very malty, with very hop bitterness in the finish. A Yogi the Bear beer: smarter than the average lager. Doesn’t mean much, but it’s something. guyinchicago (539), marengo, Illinois, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 25, 2008 12 oz bottle as ’’lager of the lakes.’’ Pours clear, light yellow golden with a small, bubbly, white head that dissipates quickly. Remains moderately lacy with a decent swirl on the surface. Smells like a typical lager, except this is classified as a pilsener I guess. Some pale malts, sweetness, and light hoppiness. Taste is similar. Some added spiciness and honey to balance the mellow maltiness. Finishes slightly carbonated and yeasty with a mild lingering bitterness. Overall, not a bad brew. Balanced, plain, and nothing to write home about. JJClark (546), Roscoe, Illinois, USA
