Yellow color. Aromas and flavors of butter poached yellow apple, cornbread, honey-glazed biscuit, and pineapple rind with a round, crisp, spritzy, dry light-to-medium body and a smooth, interesting, medium-length finish with notes of buttered corn bread, sea spray, apple skin, and pink peppercorn. A light, crisp, refreshing Lager for drinking by the pint along side your favorite hard cheeses.

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.
