Lager beer

Lager beers made with yeast that settle on the bottom (Saccharomyces carlsbergensis) of the container used. Thus, all the yeast and other material settles on the bottom which results in a clear beer. Originally stored for long periods in the cold, it is pale in color and moderately hopped, with a flavor not usually characterized by any aroma in particular.

The word ‘Lager’ derived directly from the German, was the name originally given to the Bavarian beers. It is now applied to most of the beers brewed by the decoction system which have been stored in the cold or lager cellars. At cooler temperatures, the yeast act much slower and the byproducts are minimal.

No doubt the most popular beer type in the world, but also one of the youngest, only the invention of refrigeration systems in the late 19th century making it possible to maintain the required low processing temperatures throughout the year.
