Description:
This is a classic German Helles (pale) Lager. Again using only the best German Pilsner Malt and the freshest German Tradition Hops. This Lager comes across with a nice malty smoothness and then a crisp hop tang to heighten the German flavors and meld with the foods of Southern Germany.

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.
