Great Lakes Brewing Red Leaf Lager

[442-20070726] Sample @ LCBO-Summerhill. Smells like dead fish cakes lightly sprinkled with urine. Clear, amber brown body with a quick bubbly white head. Light wheat flavour is mostly malty grain only with a hint of fish. Light-medium body. Aroma is unappealing. (3/3/4/2/8) 2.0

[619B-20070916] Sample @ Feast of Fields (Hillsburgh, ON). Sweet almost sickly grain aroma. Clear, amber red body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Fruity malt and grainy wheat flavour with a bit of honey. Grainy medium body. Not bad, almost repeatable but for a weird sweetness. (5/3/6/2/11) 2.7

Another Dark Lager, how many lagers can one small brewery make!? two dark lagers, and one pale lager. Come on guys! you have made some great seasonals in the winter ale, the devils pale, and the orange peel ale. To be honest, i did a side by side with the black jack lager, and i dont see a difference.

Great foam but flavourless. I t gives a sensation of alcoholic content in great ammounts. NOT very special.

Bottle - reminds me of Ricards Red. Not great but not bad either. The aroma wasn’t offensive. Sweet aftertaste

Red copper lager with a collapsing off white head. Aroma of sweet wet dough. In mouth, sweet fruity malt, with notes of phenolics, and very thin bodied, short in mouth. Not bad, just plain and boring.

I really liked that beer. Interesting aroma with traces of wood. Better than Rickard’s Red. Amber colour. Drinked in bottle.

bottle. deep copper body with a small, white, creamy head. I’m getting nothing off the aroma. maybe some mild soapy detergent...sweet cookie and bready flavour. sweet finish. sub-par.
