ChiTown Lake Shore Lager

This 5.5% ABV American pale lager is from the Chicago Beer Company and is brewed for them in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. It is available in the greater Chicago area and I picked it up at a Trader Joe's in Chicago.

The beer pours a very dark golden and light amber in color. Darker than I expected when the bottle calls it a pale American lager. There is a short head of white foam. The aroma is malty and somewhat sweet. The taste is a clash of sweet malt and bitter grassy hops. This is poor.
