Types of Lagers

	Pale Lager: Pale lagers have a light color and are light-bodied. They are highly carbonated and have a light taste. Mainstream examples of pale lager beers are Coors and Budweiser.
	Pilsner: A pilsner beer has a pale color like a pale lager, but is more bitter in taste. The flavors of pilsners are more distinctive than pale lagers.
	Light Lager: There are two different types of light lager beers. American light lagers use less hops and barley in order to create low calorie beers. European light lagers are lagers that are pale in color and light in taste.
	Dark Lager: Dark lager beers are made with roasted hops and barley. This means they have much richer flavors and are dark in color. They are full-bodied and flavorful.

	Brown Ale: Brown ale beer is red to copper in color and is rather mild in flavor.
	Porter: Porter beer is darker in color and is full-bodied, with the barley flavors dominating over the mild hop flavors. They are richly flavored. Some porters even taste like chocolate.
	Stout: Stout beer is very similar to a porter. Stout beer is the darkest and thickest of the beers. The strong barley and hops flavors prevail in this dark beer.
	Witbier: Witbier (or Wheat beer) is a beer that is brewed with a large proportion of wheat. Wheat beers often also contain a significant proportion of malted barley. Wheat beers are usually top-fermented.The flavour of wheat beers varies considerably, depending upon the specific style.
