Beers similar to Free State Lager

Pale Lager·United States·5% ABV·One of 373 Pale Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Free State Lager's malty and hoppy character. Easy-drinking, clean and crisp, with a hint of hop character from citrusy Comet and German Saphir hops over an all-malt grist. This style of lager has been a fixture at local watering holes since the repeal of Prohibition, and Free State gives it an upgrade here: a flagship from the first legal brewery in Kansas in over 100 years.
