Comments:
However, this is not a Corona-style beer. This is more of a Vienna lager-style that’s apparently become popular in Mexico. I could tell on the pour alone, because it didn’t pour out as a piss yellow; it was a dark amber with reddish tones. It was cloudy, not watery, and the small head left a lot of lacing on the glass.
The nose was pretty strong, a heady scent of hops and malt. On the taste I got a zesty, slightly bitter feel in the front of my mouth that was also slightly watery and had a touch of lousy to it. I didn’t quite know what to make of it. On one hand, I liked the zestiness that hit the upper palate at the first sip, and then again at the back of the mouth as it slid into my throat. I definitely wouldn’t add a lime, as recommended (though if you heard Eddie Glick rant about adding garnishes to beer, you’d never even mention that in the first place), and I really wondered if you needed food to enhance the flavor of the beer.
Overall though, the zest is what makes this beer just slightly above a one mug rating. That flavor adds some character to the beer and makes it drinkable.
