German lagers are a type of beer that originated in Germany and are known for their clean, crisp taste. They are brewed using bottom-fermenting yeast at cooler temperatures, which results in a smooth and refreshing flavor profile. Common styles include Pilsner, Helles, and Dunkel, each offering unique characteristics. These lagers typically have a pale to amber color and a moderate alcohol content, usually ranging from 4% to 6%. The brewing process often emphasizes the use of high-quality ingredients, such as German malt and hops, contributing to their well-balanced taste and aroma.
