alright HBT, so my dad found this American Light lager at one of those restaurants that brew their own, and the problem is it's hard to get a growler of it for him, so I was wondering if any of you all have any suggestions for bottles/cans of something for the time in between trips. He likes low hop character and a light and clean malt profile, like a good, clean session beer. to give an idea, he likes sapporo a lot, dislikes IPAs strongly, but i want to find him something he'll really love. thanks for any of your suggestions.
favorite light?

If you're specifically looking for a light beer, Sam Adam's light is pleasant enough. If you're looking to brew something yourself try the Cream of Three Crops in the recipe database.

Full Sail's Session Lager. They've picked up distribution on the East Coast, so you might be able to find it.

Check out Oskar Blue Grill and Brewery's Mama's Little Yella Pils. Comes in a can, and is very similar to most chain brewhouse restuarant's light beer, but BETTER!! I describe it almost exactly like what you say above, light with a good, clean malt profile, low hops.
You can typically find it at your local ABC, Total Wine, etc.

While it's not an american light lager, Yuengling is a great lager with good flavor and some character. Haven't met a BMC drinker that didn't like it yet, and you should have no problem getting it in MD.
