James Page Boundary Waters Golden Lager

Formerly brewed at Stevens Point Brewery
Style: Pilsener
Stevens Point, Wisconsin USA

I had no idea that they had changed the name. I used to drink this as "james page wild rice lager" I thought they had stopped brewin it. THAT WAS 13Y AGO! I am running out tomorrow and buying some! When I first became a beer snob i drank my weight in this stuff weekly. All i remember was being able to taste the wild rice, and a real smooth, slightly bitter finish. Great, now i am getting all misty.

Had this one bottled. Light orange pour with a filmy white head, nose of sweet bread, notes of baked bread, hops and orange. Not bad.

Pours a golden orange color with light white head. Aroma of bready grains and light caramel malts. You can definitely taste the wild rice. Interesting brew. Different enough to purchase again... and probably again.

Bottle courtesy of CharlesDarwin. An orange pour with a thin and fizzy light-tan head. A very unique aroma of freshly baked bread, vanilla extract and malts. The wild rice smell really shows up as it warms. Smooth, sweet stuff. Quite doughy. A little herbal with hints of anise. Unique stuff all the way.

beer I had while in Minnesota. I went there to get a drivar’s lisence, I’m from Mexico and had to travel al the way up there just to get one. Glad you guys luv us illegals so much. tanks. beer was crisp, man, i could go for some of that crisp woman, no what I mean? Long live your friendly government. LOL........

Bottle, Cold Springs Brewery. Dark golden color with a smaller diminishing yellowish (similar to a ages piece of paper) colored head. Toasted white bread aromas along with some light caramel and a hint of light floral hops. Really has a wild rice quality. Lightly sweet wild rice flavors mix with mild rose and lavender. A sweeter lager. A mild bitter linger helps ensure that his does get to sweet. A novel brew. Let see if Point does anything with this one. Thanks CharlesDarwin.

Nice amber hued gold, with a nice line of white crisp head. Effervescent. Sweet plain malt aroma, with a touch of grass. Flavor is pretty boring at first, of plain malt with the usual touch of hops. Ends with some caramel, more grass and a little saltiness. Not offensive, not amazing. Very drinkable and smooth. Palate is smooth and lightly sugary.

Its hard to believe anyone would brew something this bad on purpose. I’m thinking I got a bad bottle. Terrible paint thinner and licorice aroma. Pours a nice copper brown. Terrible rubber aftertaste. I’m rating as-is with an open mind to try another sample.
