Amigo Lager is Pizza Port's version of the Mexican-style lager: pale, light-bodied and made for easy drinking. The malt is clean and soft, with a hint of cracker and fresh bread. Sterling and Tettnanger hops add a floral, gently peppery spice and a bright lemon note that lifts the finish. Carbonation is lively, bitterness stays low, and the beer ends crisp and dry.

Pale straw gold with excellent clarity and bright transparency. The head forms quickly and maintains fine, even lacing along the glass. Carbonation is visibly lively, with steady streams of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

Clean and inviting, with soft malt notes of fresh bread crust and a delicate cracker sweetness. Sterling and Tettnanger hops contribute a restrained floral character with gentle peppery spice. Underneath lies a bright citrus lift, primarily lemon, without any harsh phenolic edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with mellow malt sweetness and a subtle bready character. The mid-palate remains light-bodied, allowing the herbal peppery notes from the hops to emerge without overwhelming. Bitterness is restrained and balanced, contributing definition rather than dominance.
