Style Context
As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for American-Style Amber Lager calls for low to medium-low caramel or toasted malt, 4.8 to 5.4 percent ABV, 18 to 30 IBU and 6 to 14 SRM. The 2018 figures put the IBU inside the range and the ABV slightly above it; the current batch strength is not published.

Research Notes
Field pass 2026-10-13: Searches found no named hop varieties tied to Falling Sky Cloud Gazer; generic hop flavor descriptions are not recipe evidence.
The brewery has no individual beer page; Cloud Gazer appears on its all-beers page under seasonal releases, with no ABV or IBU in the page text.
ABV and IBU come from a 2018 Beerstone release roundup listing Cloud Gazer Oktoberfest Bier at 5.7% and 25 IBU; the 2026 batch may differ.
Naming conflict: the listing title says Marzen Lager, the description says Vienna style lager, the 2018 roundup says Oktoberfest Bier, and the medal list says Oktoberfest Lager.
Hop varieties were not found on the brewery site, the roundup, or a BeerMenus search.
No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
Researched 2026-10-13.
Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery beer page gives tasting words and Oregon-grown malt; no hop variety.
