Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for International Light Lager calls for no malt sweetness, often sugar adjuncts to lighten body and flavor, 4.1 to 5.1 percent ABV, 9 to 18 IBU and a straw to gold color (SRM 2 to 5). The 18 IBU sits at the top of the range, while the 3% ABV listed on Untappd is below the guideline range.

Research Notes

• Field pass 2026-10-13: The brewery news listing names Road Pop Light but does not establish which version corresponds to the plain Road Pop medal entry. The ambiguity already recorded between Light and Kellerbier remains, so beer url is not filled. No hop varieties were verified.
• The brewery's core brands, tap list and menu pages do not name Road Pop; the tap list loads dynamically.
• Untappd has two Road Pop listings from Akronym: Road Pop Light (Leichtbier, 3%, 18 IBU) and Road Pop Kellerbier (Kellerbier / Zwickelbier, 3%, no IBU). The GABF entry name is plain Road Pop; the Light listing is used because its style matches a light lager category, but which listing corresponds to the entry is not confirmed. Both agree on 3% ABV.
• The brewery's awards page mentions a 2026 Ohio Craft Beer Awards post but no 2026 GABF result.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery's August 2026 post introduces Road Pop Light, a 3% German style light lager with a subtle floral hop aroma; it is a different beer from the medal winning Road Pop, so nothing is carried over.
