Tres Picos
Grand Teton Brewing Co.

12oz can, straw-colored as one would expect. Aromas and palate have that familiar blend of malt sweetness, a light grainy profile, minor earthy hops, this thing is mostly sweet like heavier light lager.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a straw like color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of malts and grains. Taste is the same as the aroma, extremely easy drinking. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall would be a great beer to crush during the summertime.

a great addition to the grand teton lineup here, something that seemed overdue for them, i am glad this exists now. golden and very pale, glowing and frothy white headed, great retention and fizzy the whole way, this looks spot on. its clean and well made, predictably so, but its also a little bland, almost too clean, almost american light lager rather than mexican, as i think the hops are quite light, just clean bitterness at the end, adding to crispness in texture more than to flavor, and i think the lager yeast is equally tame, not as floral and citrusy as mexican lager yeast can be, its not totally neutral either, but its mighty mild. fortunately this is all super tidy and fast and well refined, its high quality enough to not be boring, but its close. the texture makes this for me, so effervescent, light bodied, and clean, super refreshing, and unlike a lot of these, it even warms up pretty well if you dont drink the fifth one as fast as the first, a little more of a european pils vibe then to both the yeast and the grain. super light on the malt side, i appreciate the minerals in the water profile as much as any real malt nuance, but i love how its dry the whole way, not just on the swallow. rushing carbonation is spot on for refreshment value, and this is a beer i might even add a lime wedge to in high summer, give it a little something more. very well made overall, insanely light to drink, ill be on them this summer i have a feeling. about as light as they come, not quite to its detriment, but its definitely uninteresting, good as it is...

 

12oz can from Brewers Haven. Pale, bright golden, fading head. Sweet grainy aroma, corn. Taste is sweet, malty, adjunct grains. Fells slick and smooth. Really, really tasty.
