What is your favorite Karl Strauss beer and why?

KS: Karl Strauss Amber Lager. I prefer a somewhat more flavorful beer with moderate amount of hops, my next choice would be a Pilsener such as Woodie Gold.

Description:
Karl Strauss Amber Lager is moderate in alcohol, medium in body, and has a beautiful copper hue. Munich and Caramel malts give this beer a toasty caramel flavor and color while Cascade hops provide a moderate hop spiciness. Cold fermenting, or lagering, give it a crisp taste and smooth finish. Our most popular beer and Karl’s personal favorite, this versatile lager perfectly complements almost any food.
