Визначення та Значення "lager"

What is "lager"?

Lager is a type of beer that is characterized by its light color, crisp taste, and smooth texture. Lagers are brewed using a specific type of yeast that ferments at cooler temperatures, typically between 7-15°C, and results in a clean, refreshing flavor. The brewing process for lagers typically involves a longer fermentation period and a period of cold storage, or "lagering," which allows the beer to clarify and develop its characteristic smoothness. Lagers can be made with a variety of grains, including barley, wheat, and rye, and may be flavored with hops or other ingredients to create different styles and flavors. Some of the most popular styles of lager include pilsner, which is a light, crisp beer with a slightly bitter taste, and Oktoberfest, which is a darker, maltier beer that is traditionally served during the fall festival season.
