Straw color. Aromas and flavors of banana nut muffin, radish sprouts, and omelet with a finely carbonated, dryish medium body and an interesting, medium-long finish that shows accents of kiwi and pear, watercress with lemon zest, and hint of herbs. A delightful and mouthwatering lager with a nice balance of nutty malt and lightly fruity, herbal hops.

About

American Style Lager

American style lagers are very light straw in color and range in alcohol from 4-5%. These lagers are clean, crisp, and light in body and flavor with low-to-no detectable hop or malt aromas. In addition to malt, many of these beers contain adjuncts such as corn and rice that are used to lessen the body and flavor. These beers originated in the US as versions of the pilsner style. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Capital Supper Club, Stevens Point Special Lager and Full Sail Session Premium Lager.
