Point Light

Stevens Point Brewery
Tap to rate
🌍 United States · Light Lager · One of 56 Light Lagers in hopIQ

Point Light joined the year-round range in 2025 as the brewery's low-strength lager, brewed from barley malt, additional grains and a small hop charge. It is pale straw in colour and deliberately restrained in flavour. Clean cereal and a faint sweetness of grain lead the aroma and palate, with a light bready note from the barley malt in the middle. The hops stay in the background, and the very low residual extract leaves a slim, dry and crisp finish.
