Collaboration with Great Notion Brewing
Ex Novo Brewing has partnered with Great Notion Brewing and Lombard House on a new beer called The Gang Makes A Lager.

“The Gang Makes a Lager” is a Mexican-style lager brewed with Motueka hops and key lime, and will be released in cans and on draft.

An absolutely perfect looking Mexican lager as the straw yellow body is still, one mass of gold uninterrupted by nonsensical bubbles, yet amassed with a foamy and frothy bone white head. The spit spotty lace scattered and appropriate.
The aroma is simple, as it should be. Light grain, a touch of corn, and a squirt of lime without having to add it myself. It smells like a day on the hot sandy beach. Scorching, lazy, and refreshing.
Well.... it's actually a bit of a miss on the flavor. Though still tasty, it misses the mark of your classic malty and grainy German influenced Mexican lager. Very light (if any) grain, and if speaking 100% honestly, tastes more like a rice lager, with the most reserved pinch of line juice imaginable.
Feels spot on. Ultra light, extremely crisp and refreshing with superb balance only slightly favoring sweet. In my opinion, a Mexican lager is intended to be consumed by the truck load, and this easily meets that criteria.
Ex Novo, Great, Notion,and Lombard House happen to be well loved establishments on my part. But, as Mexican lagers are quite an influential part on my beer-life journey, this one doesn't quite hit the marks. A good beer. A tasty and refreshing one with respectable homages to the style, but I'll still take a Modelo Especial or Bohemia in favor as this doesn't quite ring true to the proper cervezas of our friends south of the border.
Salud!
