Amber pils with a light white head. Sweet malt and light czech hops in aroma. Nice sweet malt in mouth, with caramel and fruity notes. Medium bodied. Mondial 2005.

Amber ale with a thin white head. Light sour cherry jam in aroma, with malt base. Rather malty in mouth, with tart cherry noites, byut very light and watery. Boring. Mondial 2005.

Golden ale with a thin white head. Pleasant hoppy aroma, pungeant herba and lightly resinous. Rather nice hoppy light ale with light citrus and sweet malt. Ligh bodied. Mondiale 2005.

Bottle pours an opaque black witha very large milk chocolate colored head. Arolmas of mainly chocolate malts and dark roasted but sweet malts. I don’t notice much coffee here yet. Slightl acidic sour porter like aroma as well. Flavor was more of the coffe I was expecting but mainly on the aftertaste. Yes, quitre thin and kind of a light weight at 4.4% and low on the unfermented sugars. Not bad. Now that I think of it the delayed aftertaste is like the combo of cigarette buts and coffee grounds. Thanks to Degarth for this one.

2005 bottle from Liquor mart drunk on 9/29/2005. A clear, filtered amber-to-light-mahogany colored beer, with a quickly dissipating off-white head, no lacing. Rather bubbly. Aroma of raw pumpkin meat, brown sugar and cinnamon. Very sweet, with some buttercream qualities, don’t get any of the hops, definitely not any lager yeast. Pretty much a sweet cream and pumpkin pie aroma. Flavor is more of the same; very sweet, brown sugar-meets-heavy cream flavor, moderately carbonated, with a raw pumpkin meatiness, that may be authentic, but seems to overpower the otherwise lighter characteristics of the mouthfeel, especially being that this is quite filtered. Looking for the lager qualities, I find none. Cinnamon/nutmeg and light allspice on the end, some plant-like, vegetal notes and more buttercream. I appreciate that it’s not overspiced, and there is a definite sweetness to it that at least gives it some body, but the mouthfeel is weak. I’m not so sure a creamy-sweet pumpkin beer works well with a lager, I’d prefer to stick to an ale. I did have this only chilled (and the first half straight from the bottle), however, so that may be a problem.

An ok bitter. The aroma is mostly hops, and these are light. The whole beer is generally light; and the organic seems like a gimmick. Light palate.

Fairly creamy body. Smooth and easy to drink. Simple but pleasant hop aroma and flavor. Fairly bitter.

I am generally impressed with Lakefront and this beer delivers. It is a well above average bock. It has the standard bock aroma. The flavor is sweet, with carmel and malt, and flavor wise it a close comparison to Optimator or Salvator. It could use a big more alcohol; overall nicely done.

Nice red color with lots of carbonation. You can smell and taste the cherry because you know to expect it from the bottle. In a blind tasting I would not call this a fruit beer, and it might be the first disappointment from this brewery that makes beers I otherwise enjoy. Fairly smooth, a little wheat in the flavor.
