| The on-going development of golden lager beers has continued apace since the late 1800's. 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 flavours with no defects. |

| This style is the beer of the young and active - a refreshing thirst quencher from the city night clubs to the summer beaches. |
