Drinco De Mayo
Mikkeller ApS

Picked this up and consumed back on May 5, 2019, it was the older label/design.

Pours a cloudier golden appearance than I prefer my lagers. Why isn't this displaying a degree of clarity? Its not supposed to be hazy or double dry hopped, so I'm not really sure why that looks the way it does. Around that 2/5" white head range. The aroma was pretty much corn and barley like grain agricultural note.

Taste was a slightly maltier, slightly hoppier BMC kind of lager. Thin mineral like water presence to it. While there were absolutely no off flavors going on with this, it also was $4 which is cheaper than most cans of beer, but also 3x more BMC like lagers. Didn't wow me in any sense, didn't really disappoint me in any sense, other than the price, which if you know Mikkeller, I'm kind of shocked it wasn't more. It serves a purpose, I get it. I'd rather just bang Coors and save the money.

 

The beer pours out a crystal clear light golden color, with 1 finger of white head------------------ the aromas are of sweet malt and light grass/floral(it smells like any adjunct lager) ----------------- the flavors are of sweet malt and grass, the beer has a thin mouthfeel with a light grassy bitter finish----------------- overall this is just another adjunct lager, I will say it is better than most in the style very light and crisp, it will go good with tacos

This one pours a clear and bubbly straw yellow, with a small head, and a lot of lacing.

This smells like grassy hops, corn, bready malt, and a light hoppy sweetness.

This is pretty simple, but very well done. There's a subtle grassy and slightly bitter hoppiness, with light corn and fruity sweetness, a bit of graininess, etc.

This is really refreshing and very drinkable, with a very crisp finish. There's a moderate level of carbonation.

This is simple, and doesn't try to be anything that it's not. That's ultimately a good thing here.

A: Pours a clear pale yellow in color with moderate to heavy amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and faint medium bright yellow + pale golden yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall fizzy foamy bright white head that reduces to a large patch of slightly mottled veyr thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Light aromas of bready + grainy malts with a light amount of corn adjuncts and minimal amounts of sweetness. Light aromas of herbal + grassy hops with very faint aromas citrus/lemon zest hops.

T: Upfront there are light flavors of bready + grainy malts with a light amount of corn adjuncts and minimal amounts of sweetness. That is followed by light flavors of herbal + grassy hops with very faint flavors citrus/lemon zest hops. The hops impart a light to moderate amount of lingering bitterness.

M: Light bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Crisp with a clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and refreshing with such a subtle flavor + aroma and crisp + clean mouthfeel. Enjoyable and I could easily pair this one with just about any food. Very well done in a not that exciting style.

Pours crystal clear golden yellow with a nice head that left a little lacing.

Aroma is pretty mild and faint, bready, grassy, and earthy.

Taste is much fuller, great balance of bready malt with nice hop notes for a lager. Robust and satisfying.

Feel is light without being thin, nice lively carbonation, refreshing and clean.

Overall a very good, crisp lager.

 

 

 

i swear this tastes and smells like SOAP...

16 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 3/16/2018. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairlt dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, lime, cracker, corn, white bread, and light herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with pale malt/corn, citrus, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, lime, cracker, corn, white bread, and light herbal/grassy earthiness. Very mild herbal, grassy, spicy hop bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, cracker, corn, white bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness of pale malt/corn, citrus, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is a very nice Mexican pale lager style. All around nice robustness of pale malt/corn, citrus, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and never watery for the low ABV. Feels like they added citrus to this, but it doesn't say anything on the label. Clean pils malt/corn flavors and solid earthy hop presence for the style. Not overdone on adjuncts. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Like my baby mama after a mani-pedi, this dang thing is on point. Not much in the aroma, but it sparkles a pretty yellow hue like the Beatles performing Golden Slumbers. And if I may say myself, ima call this the John Lennon of lagers because it’s that damn hot doggin’ good! It’s just bright, and clean, and crispy like my baby mama after a tanning sesh.

Ooooo yeah, dis one makes me feel good!

 

473ml can poured into a pint glass.

It pours a translucent golden yellow color with a finger of foamy white head that stays for a while before sinking to some bubble sheet atop and leaving only slight lacing.

Quite fruity hop in a nose, orange, lemon, lemon grass, kaffir lime, and mild floral. Malt is also there in the supporting with its bread and faint honey.

Hop forwards in the taste with its zesty orange, lemon, lemon grass, kaffir lime, floral, and some bitterness while malt discloses in the undertone with notes of bread and sweet. The end and aftertaste is pretty clean with ghost-like residual fruity and bitter hop.

The body is light with semi-smooth mouthfeel and some good lively carbonation. The feeling is crisp and refreshing while the finish is clean and slight dry.

This one is surprisingly good. A crisp and clean yet very easy to drink Lager with its nice fruity and hoppy characters.
