THE STORY

In a time of wonderbread and individually wrapped yellowish slices of cheese, a king was born.  It all began when a multinational conglomerate of brave souls asked, “why do we need taste?? Just make sure there’s booze in it.”  And the rest, my friend, is history.

THE FLAVOR PROFILE

Sometimes mistaken for water.

CATEGORY DESCRIPTION

The light lager is generally a lighter version of a brewery’s premium lager, some are lower in alcohol but all are lower in calories and carbohydrates compared to other beers.  Typically a high amount of cereal adjuncts like rice or corn are used to help lighten the beer as much as possible.  Very low in malt flavor with a light and dry body.  The hop character is low and should only balance with no signs of flavor or aroma.
