This was the second beer I had while visiting this place in South Lake Tahoe, really dig the patio and fire pit area. Good times.

Pours golden, average-ish clarity, flaked wheat I think in here but not fully committing to being a hazy, 1/4" white head, dissipates pretty quick. The aroma hits all those stone fruit and down under dank like weedish notes. I believe there is some orange crushed up for this too. Smells nice.

The taste continues more like a west coast beer than a hazy one. Very light grain presence, didn't really pan out on the wheat/oats end in the mouthfeel, but I think I probably liked it moreso for that reason. Its dry, light, but amply flavorful in the dank and citrus hop realms. Its a solid "lake" beer as the name implies. Mosaic hops seem to tie it all together blending that tropical and weed like taste combo throughout.

I liked it enough to grab a can or two I remember that. I added this beer to this Next Glass owned database, and also did a review of this beer. You're welcome. Respect Next Glass!
