Lager

Alcohol: 4.3%
Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of scallions, green tea, pillsbury biscuit dough, and dry straw with a satiny, crisp, spritzy, dry light-to-medium body and a graceful, stimulating, breezy finish that shows elements of canned corn, rice crackers, and lightly buttered croissant. Light and refreshing, so its totally clean, crushable, and palate cleansing.

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.
