Lagers/Pilsners

Question 1

Longfin Lager

Answer 1

Brewery: Ballast Point
4.5%

Inspired by the Helles Style from Germany, this very light colored Lager is big on malt flavor. With the reserved use of hops in bittering, this crisp Lager has the aroma, and flavor of fresh baked bread thanks to the German produced Pilsner Malt. Hell is the German adjective for “light,” while Helles is a noun used in the sense of “a light one.”

Keywords: Low Bitterness, Clean, Crisp

Question 4

Mama’s Little Yella Pils

Answer 4

Brewery: Oskar Blues
ABV: 5.3%

Unlike mass market “pilsners” diluted with corn & rice, Mama’s is built with 100% pale malt, German specialty malts, and Saaz hops. While its rich with Czeched-out flavor, its gentle hopping (35 IBUs) and low ABV (just 5.3%) make it a luxurious but low-dose (by Oskar Blues standards) refresher.

Keywords: Floral Hops, Light-Bodied, Grassy

Question 5

This lager’s crisp taste and bold packaging embodies patriotism and the same values our country was built on: pride, honor and dedication. Produced in 100% American made packaging and containing nothing but domestic ingredients, American is a proper beer for the hardworking everyman.
