Lost Lake

This "naturally brewed pilsner beer" is by Universal Sales, Inc. of La Crosse, Wisconsin. This is a City Brewery contract brewed product.

The beer pours a bright golden and yellow. There is about an inch of white head, not particularly long lasting. It is well carbonated. The aroma is bright, apples and grain cereal. There is more tang than a lager should have. The taste is mild grain, mild wet cardboard, not nearly as much tangy apple as in the aroma. There is some corn sweetness, and almost no bitterness. The beer has a stinging carbonation. Well, if you threw some malt o' meal cereal into cheap apple juice and drank it out of a corrugated cardboard box, then I think you would have this beer. If you are lost at a lake, and have no other beer, then by all means drinks this beer. Otherwise I would avoid it (although it is relatively inoffensive compared to many of the City brews).
