This easy to drink red lager is specially produced for The Nomad Pub In Milwaukee by Lakefront Brewery. This well balanced brew (not too hoppy, not too malty) is packed with non-essential nutrients. generous amounts of specialty malts produces its reddish hue.

Well, I've done the Lakefront tour about a 100 times, but I never stopped at The Nomad to have this beer afterward (if you are familiar with Milwaukee bars, you know that Wolski's is the BEST bar in Milwaukee, and choosing between that and Nomad is no contest). So stopped in after the tour today and finally tried this. It's a beautiful little red. While Wolski's is still the coolest bar in Milwaukee, Nomad gained some after Lakefront points just for this beer.

Clear dark amber orange color with a deep tan head that evaporates quite quickly. Dark caramel aroma. Alcohol aroma takes over as it warms. Flavors of caramel and slight toasty/nutty flavor. Finishes with a slight off bitter taste. Overall one of the better reds I have had.

Pretty plain, eminently drinkable beer from one of my favorite bars in Milwaukee. Nice red color with basically no head.

On tap @ The Nomad. Stopped in after the Lakefront tour. Great dark red lager that pours exactly that. Commercial description holds true to this one...not too malty and not too bitter, right in between. But it has some character and flavor to it unlike some other darker lagers I’ve tried. Better as it warms as some carmel and toffee flavors come through and also gives the hops their chance to shine.

Enjoyed on tap outside the Nomad whilst watching people and listening to a guy play the harmonica. Red/orange or mahogany body. Light-brown cremy head. Light hoppiness in aroma is hard to detect. Overall taste is a sweet fruity bitterness with a touch of caramel and coffee. Bitterness seems to come from lemony hops. Also gives me some nice hoppy burps. Pretty good overall... better than I expected.

This beer has a little bit of a bite. A nice Red Lager.

This amber beer, while not bad, is nothing special. I can see this being an inoffensive session beer, and I was able to drink mine quite quickly. If you take the tour at Lakefront Brewery, you'll get a coupon for a free Lakefront beer at one of four Milwaukee bars. In my opinion, its worth redeeming that coupon at the Nomad to try this beer, but I can't say I'd drink it regularly.

Not too bad. Very caramely flavor.
