American Light Lager.
Yeah, right!!! I don't see that happening, but maybe pre-prohibition style American Pilsner?
But seriously, maybe Schwarzbier? Have they ever done a straight-up Brit/Scot/Irish style, like a bitter, porter, or (non-Imperial) stout?
Yes they have a great bitter on tap - Uncle Teddy's Bitter - awesome session stuff, and Workingman's Porter, also very quaffable.

That is Workhorse Porter, not workingman's.

Steve again -
ISTR they also had good mention for a Mild? A beer that even many UK breweries don't bother with; as it's seen as an old man's drink (& also previously had something of a bad reputation, as the cask that all the 'slops'(*) were dumped into!)
When well-kept & well-brewed, however, the experience of a session on good cask mild is sublime. My favourites are the darker, roastier & chocolatey examples from the midlands (e.g. Holden's, Batham's, Enville, Sarah Hughes (6%abv!), plus the excellent Cain's Mild, from Liverpool). cheers, MikeMcG. (*) slops - unfinished pints, off beer, ullage, samples, etc)
They have Milltown Mild - I have not sampled that however.
I think they've done both an ESB and definitely a porter, but I don't know that either was ever bottled.
