Lager is a popular category of beer known for its clean, crisp, and refreshing qualities. It is the most widely consumed beer style in the world. Lagers are characterized by their bottom-fermenting yeast strains, which ferment at cooler temperatures and result in a smooth, clean flavor profile. They are typically light to medium-bodied with a pale to golden color. Lagers have a subtle malt sweetness and a restrained hop bitterness, allowing for a well-balanced and highly drinkable beer. They often exhibit subtle floral, herbal, or spicy hop aromas. Some popular subcategories of lagers include pilsners, helles, and bocks.
