   Lake Ale poured a cloudy, copper color with a pen width, white head.  The aroma has faint notes of maltyness, and some light caramel sweetness.  The body has some fruity and light citrus characteristics with some sour notes.  The mouthfeel is smooth and the finish is is mild to say the least, and completely lacking at the worst.  Overall, I was pretty dissapointed in this brew.  The beer lacked balance with almost no hops apparent in the beer.  The flavor is nice up front but starts to fall apart and it is hard to tell if the sour notes are supposed to be there or if the beer has gone bad.         

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
