Yacht Lager Review

Stillwater Artisanal
Stratford, Connecticut


Dry-hopped session lager
4.2% abv
4 pack

Appearance: clear golden yellow body with plenty of bubbles racing to the top; pure white head (easy 2 finger) and it has good retention and leaves plenty of lacing on the glass


Aroma: surprisingly aromatic; must be truly ‘dry-hopped’, nice hint hops on the nose, a little citrus twist, soda cracker,

Flavors and Mouthfeel: wow, a nice tasting lager; some typical lager notes like white bread and yeast BUT also some nice hoppy notes – lemon peel with a little floral tea in the mix; nice zippy mouthfeel coming from the carbonation – the carbonation does fall off by the time I am halfway thru the glass


To the Point: a very pleasing lager; I would buy this again

The Windjammer in Lexington Michigan

If you are ever driving through Lexington Michigan you need to go down to the marina and stop by The Windjammer Restaurant.


Located to the right of the circle turn around


You know you are in the right spot when you see the crows nest once you open the front door


The Old Salt will show you the hallway


The hallway looks like an ol'jammer


This hallway is worth the trip


This is my kind of place


Some people may say it is out dated; BUT it looks like a Windjammer - Since when did some Pirate say, "let's update the look of our ship today crew!"


I enjoyed a Dirty Blonde at the Jammer Bar; That's a beer not the bartender


The bartender was a brunette





A great view of the marina and Lake Huron
