Beer Profile & Specifications
- ABV (Alcohol by Volume): 4.7%
- Bitterness: 18–20 IBU (International Bitterness Units)
- Ingredients: Brewed with water, premium Pilsen and Pale malts, caramel malt (which provides its rich golden hue), and classic Saaz and Willamette hops.
- Appearance: Bright, translucent golden-yellow body with a white, effervescent head.
Tasting Notes & Character
- Aroma: A clean, welcoming bouquet of bready, toasted grains and soft cereal malts, accented by a subtle hint of lemon and floral hops.
- Flavor: Crisp, smooth, and highly refreshing. It balanced a mild honey-like malt sweetness with a gentle citrus brightness and a faint caramel undertone.
- Finish: Crisp, sharp carbonation with a slightly bitter, dry finish that cleanses the palate. It offers a heavier body and more distinct character than watery macro lagers.
Serving & Food Pairings
- Serving Style: Serve ice-cold in its bottle or poured into a pilsner glass. It is highly versatile and works perfectly as a base for a Michelada (lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire, and a salted rim) or a crisp summer Shandy mixed with lemonade.
- Food Pairings: Complements Latin American cuisine excellently. It pairs beautifully with fried empanadas (cutting through the dough), grilled meats, poultry, seafood, light salads, and semi-aged cheeses.
