A. Looks the type as a typical Amber Lager. S. Has a bit of a subdued smell, not very powerful or round like most Amber. T. Just an average taste, kind of let down as all Great Lakes beers are generally superior, has a true microbrew taste but not overwhelming, a bit acidic, lingering aftertaste. M. Solid mouthfeel, a nothing remarkable. D. goes down nice, decent beer, would prefer draft to bottle on this one in particular.

Pours clear and copper, when held to the light exhibits a ruby hue. Scant finger of foam that fell fast to a thin ring and light dusting on top. Leaving lace though. Nose is outrageous. Lager nose, good malt, bread, grain, sweet toffee. Lightly sugary. Hops are floral elegance with hints of strawberry that remind one of sunshine. Grass, apple and faint spice. Taste is heaven. Really good bread and a deep but light sweetness. Fruits and pale malts dancing with one another on the palate. Hops take the finish with just the right amount of earth, bitter and oil plus a delightful touch of honey for a luxurious aftertaste. Nectar. Carbonation is medium, mouthfeel is thin. It drank simply and light. Honestly one of the best beers I have ever had.
