REVIEW: Lake of Bays Rock Cut


My first experience with Lake of Bays was certainly not the best. There just wasn't much there with the Crosswind Pale Ale. Here's hoping Rock Cut, a pale lager, has more to offer. To the beer!

Rock Cut pours an absolutely clear pale straw colored gold. A finger of white head sits on top and recedes quickly to a thin film.

On the nose I pick up hints of grassy floral hops, bits of slightly toasted grain, and just a touch of lemon.

Rock Cut is predictably light in body. A nice level of carbonation lends a creaminess that gives way to mild hop notes of grass and herbs and a mild grainy malt character.

Well this is kind of a bummer. Yet again, A Lake of Bays beer fails to really bring anything interesting to the table. Again, like Crosswind, there's nothing overtly offensive about this beer, but there's also nothing to get excited about either. Hmm, Maybe Lake of Bays isn't for me.
