Commercial Description:
This smooth lager strikes a delicate balance between malt and hops in the aroma, palate, finish and body. It has more body and less hops than a Pilsner, and less malt and more hops than a Munich style lager. 30 IBU.

The appearance is pristine clear gold with a white head. The aroma has a smooth maltiness to it that is mimicked in the taste. Has a light-medium body, is well balanced, and does not end bitter; maybe even a bit watery but in a good way. This was one of the smoothest brews I’ve had. I could drink this all night an never get bored with it, nor feel bloated.

A perfect compliment to my "gourmet pizza" at a Toledo area restaurant called Capers bar and grill. If you live nearby, it’s a great spot. It’s great to be able to choose a local beer on tap besides the usual macro-brewery beers.

An aroma of light coren. No hard smelll of wet paper int this one. An almost orange pour that clings to the glass almost like thin honey. a flavor of sweet malt and a nice bitter that is short lived but easy to revive for a minute or tow. A surprising palate that is almost chewy. Carbonation is just a little off.. A surprising all round good beer. I wasn’t expecting this much.

Another nice beer from Great Lakes. This one didn’t disappoint one bit. Really enjoyed the flavor, just the right amount of hops.

I almost thought this was going to be like any other American Lager at first taste, but it balances out nicely and has a touch of hops. Not bad. Quite refreshing. Very sessionable.

GLBC. Pours a nice ligiht to medium gold and a fluffy sticky pure white head with nice lacing. Aroma is nice and bready- malty, lightly herbal and noble hops. Bready doughy flavor with tons of nice fresh pils malt, but cut by the hop bitterness, and slight mineral character- along with a characteristic slight artificial sweetness of many glbc beers. Pretty damn good though.

Pours gold, it has a nice hop malt balance all the way through. The finish is hoppier then a real helles from Germany though.

A nice North American version of a dort but a little grainy. Nice malt and hop levels. Page 194 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide only 378 out of 500 Classic Brews to go.
