About Lagers
The main characteristics of a lager beer, according to the website Beer 101, is that the yeast settles at the bottom of the bottle. Lagers are fermented in low temperatures, typically below 50 degrees F. They are usually stored for several weeks or months before being served. Lagern is a German word that means, "to store." In some countries, a lager typically refers to the house beer.
Malts
Rock Light is made with pale and caramel malts. Malts are made from barley and are responsible for the beer's flavor. Beer editor and writer Carolyn Smagalski writes that caramel malts are sweet like toffee and caramel. It can give a beer its golden color. Pale malt is a type of malt typically used when making lagers.
