The on-going development of golden lager beers has continued apace since the late 1800s. Lighter beers are the leading edge of beer evolution and respond to the mainstream – their mass appeal and wide acceptance cannot be argued.
Light golden lagers are well grounded in history, Pilsner style beers were the leading edge of this “fad” and the wedge they’ve driven has almost excluded all other beers.
Today’s broad range of pilsner/lager beers are all clear, bright, and light; while this most modern “light”lager generally has a mild hop bitterness with a clean hoppy aroma.
The new age lagers are focussed on clean, light, and fruity flavors with no defects.
This style is the beer of the young and active – a refreshing thirst quencher from the city nightclubs to the summer beaches.
