Light golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of water crackers, mineral water, watercress, and citrus peel with a round, crisp, spritzy, dry light-to-medium body and an amusing, medium-length finish that shows notes of oyster crackers, lemon and lime, and spring greens. Smooth round texture and a pleasing sweetness with citrus and mild bitterness for a perfect warm weather grilling beer.

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.
