Our Fordham Lager is a golden Bavarian-style lager, with a firm malty body, a subtle hop character, and a slightly sweet finish. Helles is the German word for light or pale, referring to the color of the beer. This is the everyday drinking beer for Germans in Munich. Fordham Lager is bottom-fermented, making it a lager beer, and has a medium to light-body. It has a clean, malt accented aroma and a malty finish with little hop bitterness. Our Fordham Lager is a very balanced beer, meaning that it is not too sweet and not too bitter. It is brewed mostly with pale malted barley and small amounts of Vienna and Munich malts, which increases the body and maltiness in the beer.

Bottle from GBBF 2011 drunl at home. Clear orange gold colour thin white head. Lager malty aroma. Its pretty decent helles to be honest. A little light on the hops so not quite a pils but it is quite malty. I might even start getting the hang of these lager distinctions. Just a really solid helles if lacking a touch of sparkle. Solid as I say. Yes decdnt.

Sampled on draft at the World Beer Festival Richmond, 6/12/10. Pours a clear golden color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of floral hops, grain and a slight grassiness. The taste is pale malty notes and a grassy hop finish, as well as a faint bit of sweet corn. Medium bodied. Decent lager.
