A light golden ale which is very low in bitterness, with a clean, crisp, and thirst-quenching taste.

Had on tap. Pours clear, gold in color with minimal head. Taste is hay, grass, pilsner malt and honey. Light bodied, sweet, with moderate carbonation. Really really good for the style. Nice and refreshing. Would get this again.

brought fresh form the brewery on a rainy early summer afternoon. not the ideal weather to quaff this local gem, but ill never say no to a fresh lake placid brew. it pours a clear as day honey color, with bright carbonation and three quarters of an inch of white head. I smell sweeter pale malts, fruity American hops, and an ale yeast ive encountered before. the taste is a lot like the nose, very refreshing, with hints of spring pollen, and new oil heavy hops. this is a beer drinkers summer beer, full of flavor, and embodying the spirit of the Adirondacks. light and bubbly on the tongue, clean and crisp in the finish, almost like a lager. a beer not just for summer though, as today, in front of the woodstove and a monopoly board proved. not sure how ive missed this one from lake placid until this point, but I am thankful that I miss it no more.

Got it on tap at the brewery in Lake Placid.
A: Body is light golden with a 1+ finger white head. Leaves good lace.
S: Faint. Floral and perfumey.
T: Sweet malt dominates up front, with a touch of honey-like sweetness. Does finish with a modest taste of fruity hops.
M: Light; carbonation is modest.
O: OK. Not a bad summer offering.

Blarg, my least favorite beer at LP Pub and Brewery. Totally uninteresting. Seems like it’s on the menu for people who don’t really like craft beer at all and just want something light, bland, and poundable. Pale yellow and clear with a decent white head, slippery lace. Very mild aroma and flavor, with low hop presence and a trace of malt. A little sweet, a little grassy. Very much in the line of an AAL, even though it’s an ale.That’s about it.
Crisp carbonation, served cold, easily drinkable, easy to forget. Not for me. Even on the hottest summer days I want something with a bit more character, like a nice Hefeweizen or Berliner Weiss. Or many, many other choices.
