The rich amber color and caramel flavor of this beer are derived from the generous amount of caramel malt in our recipe, with just a dash of roasted unmalted barley for a subtle toasted flavor in the background. The sweetness, body, and mouth feel tell you that this is an all-malt beer. The finish has a balanced edge of bitter hoppiness which cuts through the malty character, leaving a clean palate which beckons for more. Lakefront uses a blend of fine domestic and imported hops to achieve this marriage of contrasting flavors. Note: the terminology of "stein" refers to the appropriate drinking vessel and not to a type of beer made with hot rocks.
