Introducing the American Lager– a brilliant, dry, hoppy, American pilsener beer. One night, on the way down the rabbit hole of sleuthing the American lager brewing traditions, a near-complete breakdown of the process, ingredients, and flavor profile of Schlitz lager was discovered. This beer follows those clues to re-create what industrial lager tasted like in the mid-1930's. American lager brewers were obsessed with replicating the famous hop/pitch bite of Pilsner Urquell, and as a result, the pale lagers in this era actually had quite a bit of hops in them. Cereal mashed corn grits, double decocted with American 2-row barley, and hopped to 30 IBU with the finest noble hops.⠀

Body is crisp clean and incredibly clear pale yellow. Nice little pile of white soapy foam sits atop, and while it may be slow, I can actively see the popping bubbles not being replaced and the overall volume decreasing.
Nose is mostly clean and inoffensive with some corn glut alongside pale whole wheat toast. Some dull earthy hops, but not much.
Flavour is a very similar experience, but with the dull earthiness dialed up a touch. Sweet corn and dull earthy hops are the prime movers. Pleasant swell to the finish as they play nicely off each other for the aftertaste.
Light but not thin, and decently dry to the finish, it's a very drinkable beer. Some spicy carbonation slows me down a touch, but it's the kind of thing you could easily down a couple of cans before realizing what you've done.
It's not exactly in my wheelhouse as far as experience or preference, but it seems to be a well made simple pale lager that is appropriate for these hot summer months. Plus, this way I can pretend my drinking supports more of a cause than just my own 'hydration'
