Tap to rate

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.

◌ 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.
