Our flagship beer, named after the hard-working neighborhood where Lakefront Brewery was founded. Lands a brilliant amber in the glass and settles with a bubbly, off-white head, releasing mild peppery and floral hop aromas. A hint of caramel malt sweetness up front is checked by a pleasant hop bite and crisp, lager finish. Riverwest Stein: an honest day’s beer.

0,355 l can purchased at their brewpub today, drunk at a hotel room after the Brewers victory against Toronto. Clear amber in the glass, more than one finger pale beige head. Malty aroma, little toasted. Taste is also on the malty side, some present bitterhop. High drinkability. Nice one!

Code on the bottle, best by 3L2955. Thanks a bunch. I know exactly what that means. /me rolling my eyes.
With a vigorous pour, there's 2 fingers of foam on an amber copper looking fluid. Foam hangs around.
Smell has caramel malt and the smell, sorry, of an AAL. You know what I mean.
The taste is caramel malt, grainy, some biscuit, hints of roast. Evenly balanced, good thing or not so good thing? Come on, it's an Amber Lager. Similar appearance to say, a Yuengling Traditional Lager. Bitterness level is near non existent. Ok.
Good enough light body character.
Not bad but not something that I would want to revisit so I will give the other 2 bottles away locally.

The rate at which rate beer is losing reviews is increasing. The aromas are malt, caramel, with a bit of fruit and minerals. Flavors are like nose, a bit sweet up front with a nice balance of carbonation and bitter. Decent example of the beer style.

12 ounce bottle. Deep amber orange color. Small creamy beige head. Sharp grainy toasted malt nose. Sweet toasted malt flavor has notes of caramel and vanilla. Grassy, light citrus hops in finish. Rich and malty. Chewy mouthfeel. Very good.
