Standard American Lagers are the “regular” strength versions of the light American lagers. The style guidelines for this beer are almost identical as those for the light versions. The only difference is that the hop bitterness may go up to the medium-low level, the body is light instead of very light, and of course the standard versions have higher calories and gravities.
