| Lightly golden coloured lager beers have, from the first days of lager brewing, often been crafted up at significant alcohol levels. |
| Although we all enjoy the drinkability of beers in the 4 to 5 % alcohol range, for special times brewers have also long known how to craft a warming fuller-alcohol variant. |
| Lager beers crafted at higher content alcohol levels quickly reach into ranges where alcohol becomes a quite dominant flavour component. These beers require a good hop profile to provide a balanced flavour. |
| As with light alcohol golden lagers, the finesse of component flavours are key aspects of more robust alcohol pale lagers. |
| This fine beer is focussed on the smoothness of light lagers, with a generous alcohol boost and sufficient hoppiness to cleanse the palate. |
