Another Dark Lager, how many lagers can one small brewery make!? two dark lagers, and one pale lager. Come on guys! you have made some great seasonals in the winter ale, the devils pale, and the orange peel ale. To be honest, i did a side by side with the black jack lager, and i dont see a difference.

650ml, aroma is slightly orange, VERY slight, sweet malt, and a smidge of hops. Flavour is quite thin, some honey, and a tad of orange, but the honey seems to take some of the hosp away, makes it a bit too sweet. Its wattery, and not very good. meh, i’m not liking this very much.

Very nice dark ruby color, nice thick head. Aroma is very much of cinnamon, and spices. Flavor is definetly spicy, but not a hit your over the head spicy. The ginger realls comes out, flavor of ginger bread, and a little twinge of orange on the tail end. Palate was a little thin i thought for a winter warmer though. All in all, a great beer, nice to see Great Lakes venture with their seasonal beers after the great Devil’s pale ale

I’ve been meaning to try this one for AGES! Great Lakes Pumpkin Ale 5.5% Gold with a touch of orange color and thin light beige foam. Cinnamon and nutmeg aroma. Medium bodied with a bit of a scratchy carbonation. The taste is spices then pumpkin pie like pumpkin flesh. My Uncle says this is the best pumpkin brew in Ontario. I’ve not tried enough to say but it’s a damn good example of the style.

Bright gold, medium head. Clean pale malt. What I appreciate here is the bright amarillo expression. This hop was the shit when it came out, and this beer reminded me of that...a bright, fresh amarillo character like I haven't encountered in years.
