Harborside Lager

Brewed by Minhas Craft Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Monroe, Wisconsin USA

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma of grain and sweet malts. The flavor is corn-like, sweet malts, and grain. ok beer.

Bottle and served in a standard pint glass: Pours a clean golden hue with a quickly fading head and no lace. The aroma has notes of wild grains, floral hops, and some acidic fruit. The taste is straight forward with a clean light bitterness over a base of sweet pale malts, sadly there is a hint of vegetable as well but not so much it is somewhat refreshing and drinkable. The palate as expected is short and thin with a chalky aftertaste. Okay in the realm of the style.

Found this one bottled at Binny’s Oktoberfest in St. Charles, Illinois. Actually spoke to the brewer of this beer, so that was a nice treat. Light golden pour with a lacy white head. Sweet, grassy nose which continued into the body as clover honey and butterscotch. Very clean finish. A bit understated, and a bit underrated in my opinion.

Sample from a bottle at Binny’s "Fall Festival of BEERS." Sweet nose, light, nearlt clear straw in color. Thin pour. Hints of honey in flavor. Way too mild for my tastes, but the brewer was forgiving of that.

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one. Pours pale golden with a thin white head. Aroma of grain and sweet malts. The flavor is slightly sweet and grainy. Thin body, crap brew.

Pours a transparent bright pale golden with a thin covering of thin-lacing white head. Mostly dry, grainy and bitter aroma has some floral noble hoppy notes and lager character. Body starts clean and lightly sweet with some biting carbonation and a thinner, smooth, but dull finish. One of the better examples of the style that I’ve tried, but that doesn’t say much.

A very light drinking, palatable, beer. A very refreshing brew, that will taste really good on a hot day.

Pours light golden with a small white head. Sweet malty aroma with a lot of corn present. The flavor is mostly corn and sweet banana malt taste. Not much to desire here, but for an all day beer out at the beach, it’s better than most light/macrobrews.
