Limón
Chihuahua Cerveza

 

 

12oz can poured into Duvel tulip.

Appearance - Pours thin white head that evaporates last instantly.

Smell - Okay based on the smell. I'm literally just going to copy and paste my review for their Primero beer I just had. And only make edits where necessary. Lets start completely over with the copypaste:

12oz can poured into Duvel tulip. There are various numbers printed on the bottom of the can but none are clearly dates so who knows if this is still fresh. Maybe not because I bought these in late feb or early march I believe, making them at least 2 months old. Best case I'm cutting it real close. Funny how this is called Chihuahua but is made in California rather than the actual Chihuahua Desert area.

Appearance - Pours tiny head that almost instantly vanishes. Light gold body. Slightly hazy with some cloudiness. Kind of ominious. 2.25

Smell - Very musky and dusty. Getting lots of corn. Not exactly bad but on the very cusp of it. 2.25

Taste - Was almost afraid to taste it but it's actually not too bad. For an adjunct lager it's pretty in style and surprisingly comparable to the macros. ((only thing i'd add is the slight taste of lime, which does improve things slightly. From a 3.75 to a 4.0))

Mouthfeel - Has a nice round, medium body and is fairly smooth. 3.5

Overall - Bet this would be even better if I had it fresh instead of waiting 2+ months to crack it open. Not really a fan of the style but it's good for what it aims to be. 3.5

 

 

 

 

Pours a somewhat cloudy copper/orange color with a moderate white head. The smell is pleasant, fruity, and malty. The taste is quite bitter and malty. I did detect a subtle tart lime flavor.

From a 12 oz can into a pilsner, it's a hazy yellow color with zero head or precipitating carbonation. Virtually no smell on the nose other than a faint hint of citrus. Flavor is similarly unremarkable, tasting perhaps like a very mild lager with a small splash of lemon. Mouth is crisp and quenching so I'll give it that. Overall quite mediocre in a sea of similar beers. At best, an alternative lawn mowing beer. Would not try again.
