Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of honey buttered herb toast, pineapple skin, and pizza crust with a supple, crisp, finely carbonated, medium-to-full body and a smooth, engaging finish that shows suggestions of delicate dried fruits, challah french toast, peppered arugula, and minerals. A solid pale lager that will refresh with food or on its own.

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.
