Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of soufflé, toasted cheddar herb muffin, and hint of floral soap with a supple, bright, finely carbonated, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a smooth, delightful, medium-length finish revealing notes of melon balls, spicy plantain chips, wheat toast, and coconut water. A dry-yet-fruity lager that provides instant refreshment and pleasure with every sip.

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.
