This beer is dry hopped with cascade hops to give it a floral aroma. Classified as a Northwest style pale ale, it is mildly hoppy and bitter. This beer was named after Lake Pend Oreille’s lake monster.

16oz glass at the brewpub in Sandpoint.
This beer appears a clear, glassy medium bronzed amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly dirty white 'head', which leaves random paramecia lace around the glass as things evenly recede.
It smells of faint bready caramel malt, ethereal pale orchard fruit, and increasingly prominent floral and weedy hop esters. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy caramel malt, mild generic citrus and pine needle astringencies, a tame flinty stoniness, and straight up floral and dead weed hops.
The carbonation is adequate in its supportive and playful frothiness, the body a solid middleweight for the style, and generally smooth, those Cascade hops apparently knowing enough to behave themselves. It finishes barely off-dry, the muddled citrus and pine co-conspirators tamping things down.
A tasty and pleasantly engaging American style pale ale, not too hoppy, but bitter enough to make it an easy-peasy drinker, on a day in Lake country where the temperature just begs one to step indoors, where it's shady, and the brew is as affable as this.

On draft at the brewpub in the picturesque town of Sandpoint on a chilly January day. Good looking brew, brilliantly clear, deep amber color. Does lose some points for being undercarbonated. Which is a damned shame because it's a great beer otherwise. Nice floral aroma from a generous dry hopping of cascade hops. Good balanced flavor profile with biscuity, sweet malt dancing with a nice hop bite. Mouthfeel suffers a but from the carbonation issue. Very good example of style, could be better with a few tweaks.

On draught at the brew pub, served in a shaker pint, Lake Paddler is muddled burnt gold with a big off-white head that is slow to recede and leaves scattered foamy lace.
Smell is soft, bready, some citrus hops as it opens, cascades.
Taste is well balanced, nice bread dough malt taste and modest hop flavor, a hint floral, with a firm bitterness on the finish. Well made but a bit boring for my taste.
Mouthfeel is a touch dry,crisp, medium bodied.
Drinkability is ok, to bready, not enough hops. No flaws, just not my style. Very average.
