Aug 22, 2008 Bottle as "Lager of the Lakes" from Vintage Cellar. Brassy gold color with a slight white head. Aroma is rather bready, and I don’t get hop. Thin to medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is bitter over some light pale malt. Somewhat grassy bitter with a little spice in the end. Good lager.

Aug 16, 2008 Bubbly and golden. Crisp and refreshing. Nothing exciting, but certainly much better than the watered down big brand lagers.

Aug 13, 2008 The aroma is yeasty, earth, mold, horse blanket, doesn’t smell so hot. The color is golden and clear, the head mostly diminhing with good lacing. The initial flavor is sour, very little bitter, not very good. Had a six pack for a while and left this to rate. I believe the others were better, this was batch 8124. I remember thinking this is a good lawnmower beer.

Aug 13, 2008 Pale orange with fluffy white head. Smells slightly skunky, but not much. More hops than macro lagers. Very light body with a hops finish.

Aug 12, 2008 A very strong yeast aroma, half good, half bad but thats how it is for most pilseners and lagers for me. I do love the appearance tho, a light golden color with streaming carb bubbles and a thick white head. Pretty decent taste for a generic style, yeast flavor with some bland hops and malts. Palate is smooth and crisp, doesn’t leave anything behind. This is definitely something to drink in replace of all those domestic macros, a great session beer.

Aug 9, 2008 The lager of the lakes has a very crisp looking color. I have to say that the smell and the beginning flavor are fairly harsh but it does finish nicely!

Aug 7, 2008 12 oz. bottle labled "Lager of the Lakes". Pours a pale golden yellow color with a good sized head that doesn’t last long. Fairly decent lacing.
Very clean sweet smelling aroma. Starts of sweet and then you pick up the hops in the end. Kind of dry finish. I’m not a huge fan of the hoppy beers but this was o.k.
