Answer:
Lager is a kind of beer specifically bottom fermented and brewed under cool conditions (7 Deg C to 12 Deg C) using special kind of yeast that allow cold maturation resulting in a clear beer. It taste dryer, cleaner and lighter and are best served very cold.
Beer, surrounded by England, would refer to Ales which are top fermented at temperatures between 15 Deg C to 24 Deg C. Tastes sweeter and fuller body and served at room warmth or slightly cooler.
Laugers and ales are the two central types of beers.
Laugers use yeast that sinks to the bottom, ales use yeast that floats on top.
Because the beer is fermented differently, they have slightly different intrinsic worth, but you would have to know your beers impartially well to be capable of tell the difference.

beer is lighter
A fine difference very commonly unnoticeable essentially depending upon the type of yeast being used. Some read out that the consistency ( due to some glycerine) also varies, but sorry, I cannot expound on that.
