Golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of bread dough, cracked black pepper, sea salt, and red apple skin with a satiny, bright, petillant, dry light-to-medium body and an interesting, medium-to-long finish with notes of toasted white bread, cornbread with orange marmalade, bitter swiss chard, and seltzer water carbonic bite. Crisp and refreshing with a pleasing salinity and herbaceous tone to match the malt sweetness.

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.
