Lager is a type of beer that is known for its crisp, clean, and refreshing taste. It is brewed using bottom-fermenting yeast strains at cooler temperatures than other beer styles, which results in a lighter body and color than ales. This brewing process also results in a smooth, consistent flavor profile that is widely enjoyed around the world.
Lagers are typically pale or golden in color and have a low to moderate hop flavor and bitterness. They can range from light and refreshing to strong and full-bodied, depending on the specific style. Some popular lager styles include pilsner, bock, and Oktoberfest/Marzen. Lagers are often associated with popular mass-produced brands, but there are also many craft lagers available from small breweries that offer unique and flavorful variations on the classic style.
