Commercial Description:
The rich amber color and caramel flavor of this beer are derived from the generous amount of caramel malt in our recipe, with just a dash of roasted unmalted barley for a subtle toasted flavor in the background. The sweetness, body, and mouth feel tell you that this is an all-malt beer. The finish has a balanced edge of Willamen and Casade hoppiness which cuts through the malty character, leaving a clean palate which beckons for more. Note: the terminology of "stein" refers to the appropriate drinking vessel and not to a type of beer made with hot rocks.

Bottle: Courtesy of MrFacto via trade. Aroma of caramel, fruit, and grassy hops. Pours a hazy amber with a small off-white head. Quick caramel is quickly followed by moderate citrus sourness. Finish has some grassy hops that lightly mingle with the sourness. Something is really off.

Pours clear amber, atop which sits a thifk fluffy white head with exceptional retention & lacing. Aroma is hoppy, fruity, vegetal and tart -- perhaps some hint of infection. Tart sour grass dominates the flavor -- not at all appropriate for a Vienna, though I’m not sure it should be categorized as such since there is no indication the brewer brewed it to be a Vienna-style lager. Still, the tart grass notes are too overwhelming for the generic "amber lager" designation the brewery gives this product. Medium hop bitterness and floral flavor. Creamy but slightly thin palate. Not doing much for me.

Had some pints of this last night on tap. It pours to a orangish golden body with a creamy white head that disapated rather quickly. The flavor has some hidden floral hops that are nice when detectable. There’s lots of sweet malts in the foreground. Kinda reminded me of caramel and toffee. Is good on tap. Bottles, less so.

Bottle courtesy of StewardofGondor. Light amber/orange with decent off-white head. Nice lacing. Lots of sweet malt up front with a fruity hop character in the background. Flavor is just standard amber through and through.

Medium to full body. Lakefront produces some of the best beer in Milwaukee.

Love this beer. Its starts out malty and finishes with hop. The sweetness in very memorable. I love this style of beer, and Lakefront’s offering is better than most others.

Aroma of moderate sweet malts. Body dark golden body with good white head and left fair amount of lacing on glass. Flavor has mainly a malt chacater of caramel and some hops. Smooth easy drinking beer.

Courtesy of Bockyhorsey. <P> very mild hop nose with equally mild malt profile. Orange/Amber with a sturdy white head. Clean fore followed by grainy malt and some mild caramel notes that finish on a low hop flourish. Very satisfying sipping beer.
