Light emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of lemon tree leaves and radish sprouts, pine sap, and Wonder bread with a velvety, lively, spritzy, dry medium body and an appealing, crisp finish displaying notes of bread dough, lemon zest, and garden herbs. A crisp, clean, and mean pale Lager; light and electric on the palate with excellent drinkability.

True to their name, pale lagers are pale in color and range in alcohol from 4-6%. These beers are generally light to medium-bodied with a light-to-medium hop impression and a clean, crisp malt character. Pale lagers are the standard international beer style as exemplified by products from Miller to Heineken. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Brooklyn Brewery Brooklyn Lager, Birra Moretti Lager and Damm Estrella Damm Lager.
