Yellow beer: is there a word for it?
I think you can correctly refer to a dark brown beer in English as "dark." Is there a word in English for yellow beer? For example, I think there are only two kinds of St. Pauli Girl beer sold in the U.S., one of them dark brown and the other yellow. I can refer to the former as "dark St. Pauli Girl." How can I refer to the other kind?
I hope the answer isn't "light," because that word is used by U.S. brewers to mean low calorie (ugh!).

'Dark Beer' is Bitter, or in Scotland, Heavy.
'Yellow Beer' is lager.

Nice try, but it's more complex than that even in ale-drinking countries.
I've drunk some real ales here in England brewed, I believe, with Golden Someth

[nq:1]I right in thinking 'Molson' (?) is a Canadian Ale? A light-coloured, hoppy, very quaffable beer, used to be available in the UK but I've not seen it in a while...[/nq]
Molson is a brewery that makes dozens of
varieties e.g. Molson Canadian, Molson Export,
Molson Blue, etc.

The ale-vs-lager distinction has to do with the style of fermentation, mostly. Traditional ales are brewed with a top-fermenting yeast, at between 59 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Lagers are fermented with a bottom-fer

[nq:1]There is also a "steam" beer, which is an ale that is fermented normally, but then cold-lagered for quite a while. AFAIK, Anchor Brewing Company has the term trademarked; one page Google turned up indicated the generic name is "California Common Beer".[/nq]
I hate to follow up to myself, but I got this exactly backwards, due to a mental breakdown likely caused by overwork that will short

There are lots of kinds of beer that are at least one of dark, bitter, and heavy, which are not lager. Lager refers to beers fermented by a particular proces
