Great Lakes Brewery

Lager·Canada·5% ABV·One of 161 Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Great Lakes Premium Lager's bitter and grassy character. Crystal-clear and bronze in the glass under a snowy white head. The nose brings lightly toasted malt with honey and hay, and citrus running underneath. Light-bodied and crisp on the palate, with straw and more citrus, turning dry towards the end. The finish is clean, with a bitterness that stays noticeable rather than fading away. The label revives the crest from 1987, the year the brewery was incorporated.
