Lager

Lager beers are alcoholic beverages of German origin, taking their name from the German lagern ("to store"). Brewed principally from malt (no sugar), hops and water using bottom-fermentation, it is then stored in refrigerated cellars for lagering (or maturing and clarification). Bottom-fermented (the yeast flocculates to the bottom of the vat), lagers are stored at a low temperature for several months, clearing, acquiring mellowness, and becoming charged with carbon dioxide. Most popular beers are lagers. There are bitter and aromatic? varieties (noble hops).

Most lagers are of pale to medium colour, with high carbonation, medium hop flavour, and alcohol content of 3-5 percent by volume, less alcoholic than ales. They include Pilsener, Dortmund, Munich, and California steam beer.
