Yes well
it was a long time ago and I think I only ever bought the one bottle. but somewhere I do still have the actual labels from the bottle.
I think it was as nice a beer as you can expect from a bottle , I much prefer real beers on draught.

Great Bear Lightfoot Lager
A Pale Lager brewed by
Great Bear Brewing Company
Wasilla, Alaska USA

Draft: Great Bear Brewing Co. in Wasilla, AK) Hmm, not looking forward to this one. Smells like cheap beer, grainy and corn. Tastes like cheap beer too, again with corn being the dominant flavor, and it’s minimally bitter. Thin, watery palate. Pale yellow color is slightly hazy in appearance. White head shows good retention and pretty lacing. Well, I started out with the lightest, so I fully expect things to get better from here.
On draft at the brewpub 7/14/05: Hazy golden with a settled thin head. Little discernable aroma. Crispy malt cookie with a very light bitter finish. Decent smooth lager.

Lightfoot Lager
ABV 4.8% IBU 20
Our take on a German Helles. Northwest malt combined with noble Czech hops. Balanced and highly quaffable.

Brewer Forrest Williams of the Coddington Brewing Company, minutes from Newport in Middletown, has added a few beers to slake the thirst of the summer hordes of Beautiful People. One of the most exciting is a Lightfoot Ale, which is "loosely based on a Vienna recipe," said Williams. The brew has cara-Vienne, Munich and biscuit malts and 20 pounds of honey per 7-barrel batch. It is lightly hopped with Columbus hops. "I wanted to brew a beer that wasn't handcuffed to one style," said Williams. "I was tired of making a golden over and over."
but it is no longer featured on that brewery's website
