Maybe this sat in the can too long, but it should be more than just an average lager that is dark.

 

 

 

This may very well be the best Mexican lager I have had to date. Unique gradient look from a light straw color to a darker hue the higher up the glass you viewed, all topped off by a nice frothy and white head with decent staying power. The smell is very light on both a distance lemon scent mixed nicely with the wheaty scent from the grains. Mouthfeel was medium-bodied, again, unique for the style and the taste was light on citrus and wheat similarly to the taste. Overall, this was a wonderful surprise and a lager I'll keep an eye out for next year.

Mediocre offering by a damn good Miami brewery.
So much more of their stuff is so much better.,. Had it.,. Next!

Picked-up a four-pack of cans at Bradford's in Plymouth for about seventeen dollars. My first brew reviewed from these guys, who are new to MA. Mediocre & overpriced.

meh.... they need to bring the abv down a percent.... great name, though!

 

 

A: Pours a relatively clear medium yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate pale golden yellow + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall sudsy foamy bright white head that quickly reduces to a handful of small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of slightly mottled very thin film covering approximately 80% of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light to moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of cereal grain + pale malts with moderate amounts of corn adjunct sweetness. Light to moderate aromas of lager yeast. Light aromas of grassy + spicy + citrus/lemon hops.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of cereal grain + pale malts with moderate amounts of corn adjunct sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate flavors of lager yeast as well as some light presence of Belgian yeast (phenols and spiciness) as it warms up. Finally there are light flavors of grassy + spicy + citrus/lemon hops which contribute light amounts of bitterness which fade away leaving a relatively clean finish.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp upfront with a light amount of softness mid-body and a relatively clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and enough crispness to be enjoyable though I’m not as excited as much by the slight softness that comes out as the beer warms. The corn adjuncts work well in this beer but I found the hint of Belgian yeast as it warms up a little off-putting.

 

Light amber body, crystal clear; dense carbonation presence; thin yet lasting head, semi-creamy and white. Rich, grainy aroma; toasted grain and roasted corn. The taste follows along with the smell; lightly roasted malts and adjuncts; light bitterness. Medium body; crisp with a nice warm overtone.

This is a very nice adjunct lager. The corn component is noticeable yet fits in nicely with the overall smell and taste of the beer. The beer delivers a low-key grainy sweetness with a subtle hop bitterness. Well-rounded and tasty.

Pouring temperature: 47 °F; canning data: unknown

Pours a slightly cloudy golden color. Thin one or two finger head forms on the beer before dissipating. No residual head remains. Aroma has notes of corn, sweet malts, a touch of lemon. Very straightforward, simple profile.

Taste follows the nose with notes of white bread, corn flakes, some light lemon and lemon grass notes and a rather noticeable yeast note. Feel is light to medium bodied, pretty crisp, with prickly carbonation.

Overall it is a nice Mexican lager, but at the price point ($20+ a 4-pack) it would in no way replace any of the cheaper imports.
