Far Star Cold Weather Lager is a luminous, pale lager with a moderate 5.2% ABV that brings full flavor in a lighter bodied beer. Brewed for the cold weather months from Autumn through Winter, this easy drinking lager is a perfect complement for the high caloric season of holiday meals and parties. And when we cross into the new year, Far Star lets you add a light layer of lager for those long winter nights.

2$ can at vintage estates. Nice pale gold virtually clear with a good white foamy head that stays for quite a while. A little more personality in the nose compared to most pale lagers. First tells me this is not pale lager, its something different, too much character in this baby. This has got be something like pils, premium or even india style lager. Yes, in the middle I'm starting to think this is a cross between an india pale lager and a pilsner. Fer sher, not kidding. Also, the listed ABV seems a little low for the beef in this one, comes across more like a 6%+. Decent co2 thru-out. I bet pils and IPA fans are gonna liek this pale lager, hehehh. Medium long bitter finish that reminds me of some of those poorly made domestic pilsners. Me? Mr. macro pale lager lover? I thinks this stuff needs a few more manners.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a clear bronze color with a larger than average white head and great retention. Spotty lacing. Faint pale malt aroma. The taste is a mix of pale malt, light caramel malt, and some hops. A little acidic finish. I liked it a little more as I got used to it, yet not really the lager flavor I'm looking for. Medium body. High carbonation. Light bitterness. What is a winter lager anyway?

Aromas are malt, cut grass, mineral, toffee and a little spice. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, not as complex and bittersweet. Full-bodied and good carbonation. Finish follows flavors. Good but nothing special.

Corn, barley malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with moderate white head. Mildly sweet corn, barley malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body.

Slightly hazy amber, large white head, average retention. Aroma of doughy malt, toast, caramel. Taste is toast, grain, caramel. Well balanced, dry. Nice little lager.
