Crisp light lager lets mild orange spicing slightly affect honeyed Bavarian malts and earthen Hallertau hops above its wispy baked bread bottom. Well-balanced Blue Collar fare from deep in the heart of Texas.

903 REPUBLIC OF TEXAS LAGER
Dull corn-dried malt liquor entry lets cabbage-like musk and pungent wet grains overwhelm desolate peachy orange tartness. Barely escapes gutbucket rancidity.
BURIAL INNERTUBE LAGER
On tap at Ambulance, mild clear-yellowed light body lets dry corn-flaked pilsner malts affect lemon-rotted sourdough continuance and subtle floral-fruited Saphir hop bite.
BRIX CITY JAROMIR LAGER
On tap at Poor Henry’s, sturdy moderate-bodied bohemian lager (named after hockey star Jaromir Jagr) contrasts clean-watered corn sugaring and bready pilsner malting against lightly soured grassy-hopped orange and grapefruit tartness as well as placid herbal notions for crisp refreshment.
STILLWATER YACHT DRY-HOPPED SESSION LAGER
Mainstream dry-hopped session lager with clear-yellowed body brings maize-dried grain musk and floral-perfumed grassy hop astringency to bright lemony herbal respite above biscuit-y toasted white bread spine.
MILLER 64
Thin, clear-bottled, pale-yellowed, 64-calorie light lager contrasts maize-dried astringency and mild lemon rot against sweet-corned cereal graining without getting despicably acrid or cloy. Seltzer-watered aridity neutralizes any tertiary flavoring.
CISCO SHARK TRACKER LIGHT LAGER
Bland, straw-cleared, billowy white-headed light body ruined by astringent phenol hop desiccation and lack of noticeable sweetness. Instead, maize-dried rice caking, desolate popcorn whimper and unresolved citric souring dissolve atop dull white bread spine. Try Cisco’s Sankaty Light Lager instead.
KOSHIHIKARI ECHIGO RICE LAGER
Silkenly smooth pale-strawed dry lager from Japan’s first microbrewery (circa 2013) retains corn-sugared rice tone over dainty German pilsner malts, light hop astringency and dank earthen must. Mild cider-soured lemon tartness found at the challah-breaded sourdough spine. Simply refreshing.
METROPOLITAN FLYWHEEL BRIGHT LAGER
Summery lightweight lager places brisk lemon spritz above mild citric-spiced Noble hop bittering and bready pale malt spine. Herbal-candied honeyed lemon licks groove alongside sugared lemon meringue tartness, soured lemon pit bittering and dry cracked corn ‘maize’ along the way. A sunny day pleasure.
LOCAL OPTION OUTLAWGER LAGER
Stylishly robust yellow-cleared light lager brings German pilsner-like musty mineral graining, sour dough flouring and grassy hop neutrality to soured lemon pit musk. Despite extremely pale complexion, simple flavor profile deepens over time. Baked bread, buttered biscuit and honeyed wheat undertones stay delicate beneath the toasted grain surface.
FLYING DOG AGAVE CERVEZA
Crisp Mexicali-styled adjunct lager gets a light syrupy agave nectar twist Corona ransacked from its original herbal recipe circa 2005. Zesty lemon-juiced effervescence and brisk lime peel tartness pick up salty coriander nip. Maize-flaked cracked corn provides light mineral graining to delightful light-bodied summertime serenity.
(SIERRA BLANCA) RIO GRANDE PANCHO VERDE CHILE CERVEZA
Novel light lager brings mild roasted green chili peppering to soapy citric zest. Washed-out mandarin orange snip and tepid vegetal nuance fade at lingering soft-toned jalapeno-heated chili finish.
