Beer of the Month: Actual Brewing Co.'s Photon

Style:Light Lager

ABV:3.4%

Actual's Photon Light Lager just might convert diehard craft beer drinkers back to the yellow fizzy stuff. Actual is known for experimenting with style, and it's hit the nail on the head with a light lager that clocks in at 96 calories and 3.4 percent alcohol by volume. Fortunately, Actual hasn't sacrificed flavor along the way; the beer pours a hazy yellow and sports a sweet and grassy flavor imparted by the use of noble hops. –Nicholas Dekker
