Two Weeks Lager

Two Weeks Lager Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our lightest beer on the spectrum, this clean, refreshing North German Pilsner is light in body and effervescent with European noble hops (Saaz). Finishing dry, this beer showcases a single flavor profile. Like many lagers very straight forward with no complex ale flavors.

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.
