Lite American Lager • Extract • 5 gal
Looking at some other LAL recipes, some of us don't understand the title of this beer. I am NOT a fan of this style, what is on offer commercially just lets me down every time. However, going into this with an open mind and really creating a genuine LAL using craft brewing skill and homebrewing techniques, this should be quite a pleasurable brew.
