\"TheMemo to Greg Koch:<\/a> Here’s a fizzy yellow lager you can cuddle up to. Not all that yellow, I guess, and not necessarily that fizzy. But definitely a lager, a puny 3.7% abv beer in the Munich Helles tradition.<\/p>\n

A beer I last enjoyed about six months ago, but I remember well enough to feature as my contribution to The Session #25: Lager Love.<\/a> And since I won’t be around today to keep up with how this plays out on Twitter, I’ll give you a series of thoughts, all less than 140 characters.<\/p>\n

– Surtaler Leichter Typ is light colored, although I don’t know I’d use the word yellow. But when your host asks<\/a> you have to do your best to oblige.<\/p>\n

– Private Landbrauerei Schönram in the German village of Schönram-Petting near Salzburg, Austria, brews the beer.<\/p>\n

– It earned a silver medal as a European Light Lager in the European Beer Star<\/a> competition.<\/p>\n

– Yes, it’s a light version of the brewery’s best selling helles (65 percent of sales – a dang nice beer at 5.4% abv). <\/p>\n

– You can drink this all night, well maybe 5 liters, and maybe blow .04 on a breathalyzer (the brewer and owner did this to make sure).<\/p>\n

– A great beer to shift to after several “big” ones. Because you can still taste it.<\/em> This isn’t water.<\/p>\n

– Smooth (lagered for a silly amount of time), bready, grassy, lots of noble hops.<\/p>\n

– Goes well with conversation.<\/p>\n

– It says 3.4% on the label, it’s really 3.7% and it tastes twice as big as a 4.2% American light.<\/p>\n

– I want this beer brewed close to my home. Not a beer meant to travel, so don’t try it more than 20 kilometers from the brewery.<\/p>\n

– Twitter pretty much sucks when it comes to describing the pleasure of drinking this beer.<\/p>\n
