🌍 United States · Pale Lager · One of 157 Pale Lagers in hopIQ

805 Cerveza is the lager of the 805 family, brewed in Paso Robles with lime as an ingredient; the brewery calls it a light beer with a simple twist. It pours pale straw and very clear with little foam. The nose is faint, with sweet cereal, a little corn and a squeeze of citrus. The palate brings a soft, slightly creamy grain sweetness and a gentle, tart lime edge, followed by a short, dry finish with barely any bitterness.
