I’m not the biggest Urban Chestnut fan (they make good beer, just not my styles),
but when I saw they were making an American Lager to celebrate Stan Musial’s 100th
birthday, I knew I had to try it.

**ABV:** 4.50%
**IBU:** 11**Style:** Lager – American**Brewery Description:** It’s
been 100 years since Stan the Man was born, and The Musial Family, along with Urban
Chestnut, is honoring and celebrating Stan with a special, commemorative beer – #
6 Classic American Lager. Stan very much enjoyed a little beer from time to time
so UCBC brewed this Lager beer with a recipe that pre-dated Prohibition and is classically
St. Louis.

Purchased as a 4 pack from a grocery store; this can be found almost anywhere in
the STL area. The brewery does have it [available to go](https://urbanchestnut.com/home)
as well.. Poured into a standard pint glass.

**Appearance: **The beer poured a very clear golden color with thick white head.
There was a decent amount of retention and lasting lacing on the glass.

**Smell: ** It smelled malty with minor floral hops, like most American Lagers. 
There were also hints of grass and corn.

**Taste: **It’s definitely a lager. The malt is front and center, with biscuit and
rice. Also hints of caramel. Not much hop taste, which is expected for the style.

**Mouth: ** It’s a very clean beer. There is more body than your macro lagers with
the same light bitterness. The carbonation is moderate.

**Overall**: It’s a solid beer that’s a great alternative to macro lagers. It’s 
a perfect mowing beer or something to grab at the stadium while catching a game (
if that happens again, and it Busch Stadium will carry it). I’ll be having a couple
while celebrating the Cardinals opener.

**Rating: **3.75 out of 5. Lagers are not my preferred style, but I’ve picked this
up numerous times. According to BeerAdvocate, the beer scores a 72 (out of 100),
with an average ranking of 3.78 out of 5. Untappd ranks it at 3.70 out of 5.
