Beers similar to Azul Oscura

Dark Lager·United States·5.2% ABV·One of 43 Dark Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Azul Oscura's toasty and malty character. A dark Mexican-style lager built on toasted blue corn and medium malts: toasted caramel, pecans and crackers up front, a rich, malty depth that never turns heavy, and an effervescent, light-bodied finish. Tettnanger is the hop. At 5.2% ABV and 22 IBU, it is a seasonal for chilly days when the sun sets a little earlier.
