Description:
Our lightest beer is our Lager. Lager beers are brewed with a bottom fermenting yeast that works at relatively cool temperatures (45° – 55° F). The yeast consumes one more type of complex sugar than an ale yeast, thus creating a slightly lighter and less sweet style of beer. This beer is brewed in the style of a premium export lager. 100% two-row malted barley gives this brew a malty aroma and a medium-light body. A subtle balanced hopping is provided by Hallertau and Saaz. Alcohol is 4.8% by volume (ABV).

Varietal Definition
Lager:
Pale lagers are the most commonly consumed type of beer in the world. Lagers are of Central European origin, taking their name from the German lagern ("to store"). Lager yeast is a bottom-fermenting yeast, and typically begins fermentation at 7-12°C (45-55°F) (the "fermentation phase"), and then stored at 0-4°C (30-40°F) (the "lagering phase"). During the secondary stage, the lager clears and mellows. The cooler conditions also inhibit the natural production of esters and other byproducts, resulting in a "crisper" tasting beer.
