Refreshing Light Summer Lager

A refreshing lager for blazing days, Summerfest balances delicate yet complex malt alongside spicy, floral hops. Hints of lemon zest lead into a crisp finish, and the sessionable 5% ABV invites another round of this summertime beer that pours golden bright like the sun.

What is a Session IPA?

Grab another round! Session beers are easy to repeat because of their lower alcohol content and general perception as being less filling. Whatever your “session” — an evening on the rooftop, gathered around a campfire, front row at the concert — you want a beer that keeps the good times going, not sends people packing.

While the India Pale Ale style (IPA) no doubt orbits around hops, you’ve got options like a color wheel — all the tints, tones, shades and welcome to the rabbit hole. That’s precisely why craft beer is a thrill.

Recipe

To the gills with lager

Summerfest simmers with the fish and veggies, creating a golden juice that highlights the brew’s faintly sweet malt flavors and spicy hop character. The skin releases its grip on the meat for effortless, beautiful flakes of trout. Looks and tastes fancy, but the recipe is designed for the most entry-level cooks. Hey, we’ve all been there.
