Crisp Lager

Category: American Style Lager

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 4.8%
Golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of slightly confectionary, german malt candies, grass and hay, and candied citrus with a silky, crisp, effervescent, dry medium body and an intriguing, medium-long finish that shows nuances of malt sugars, candied green apple, and wet hay and cannabis. A slightly hoppy Lager, with just a hint of hops at the end; clean enough to appease the lawnmower or shower beer drinker, but with a hoppy finish to appease the craft crowd.

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.
