Stroh's

Tap to rate

Stroh's is a Detroit-born American lager, brewed since 1850 to a family recipe. It pours a clear, pale gold under a fine white head. The nose is light and grainy, with a mild malt sweetness and a whisper of corn; the palate is refreshingly light-bodied, with soft cereal, a delicate hop character and only a mild, gently drying bitterness. The finish is clean and crisp, without lingering aftertaste or heavy body, and stays close to its everyday-lager tradition.
