Like the brewers who first made beer in Cheboygan beginning in the 1800s, we begin with the clean, cool water from the Great Lakes watershed. Combined with the choicest malts, and our brew master's keen attention to detail, we are creating beer that is the nectar of the north country!

12 ounce bottle into dimpled mug; no bottle dating, but is a recent seasonal release. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep reddish copper color with a 1 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of caramel, toffee, toast, brown bread, raisin, plum, herbal, grass, light nuttiness, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt, earthy hops, and yeast ester notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, toffee, toast, biscuit, brown bread, light nuttiness, herbal, grass, light raisin/plum, and yeast earthiness. Light earthy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toffee, toast, biscuit, brown bread, light nuttiness, herbal, grass, light raisin/plum, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and complexity of dark/bready malt, earthy hops, and light fruity yeast flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Fairly clean lager flavors with only a light amount of fruitiness present in the taste. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth and moderately creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very good Oktoberfest style. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/bready malt, earthy hops, and light yeast ester flavors; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

On tap at the Mackinac Island Draught House. Pours a clear deep amber with a near white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has notes of sweet bread and biscuit with a leafy backbone. Flavor has more of an earthy bread note with leaves and grass backing.

Bottle. Roasted corn and barley malt aroma. Hazy golden yellow with moderate head. Sweet cooked corn and barley malt flavor. Okay - very corny.

Bottle. Deep amber body with a fizzy, off-white head, slowly diminishing. Aroma of dry, dusty grain, caramel and some citrus. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture turning sticky, lively carbonation. Taste of husky grain and caramel, both of which are more forward than the hops. The beer dries out in the finish, but leaves a grainy bitterness. Clunky and unrefined.

bottle - Brewed for the Mackinac Island Brewhouse. Pours hazy amber-orange with a huge light tan head and good lacing. The smell is of citrus and band aids. The flavor is similar and lightly sweet. It’s bubbly with mild to moderate bitterness. That off taste is still there though and it brings this beer down. Drinkable but mediocre at best. Bad bottle or bad beer. My 300th Michigan beer.

Hazy dark amber. Smooth and full-bodied on the palate. A bit too much malt sweetness, but overall a decent beer.

Bottle pour into shaker. Light yellow with small head. Nothing bold about the taste . . . very light without tasting thin or watery. I am not a light beer drinker, but if I chose to be one I could drink this regularly.

On tap at The Boat House, Cheboygan. Hazy yellow body, thin to medium tight off-white head. Floral, grassy nose. Acidic body, spicy and citrusy with lemon and biscuit. I much prefer the Lighthouse Amber.
