Bienvenido!

Coronado Brewing Company
Tap to rate
🌍 United States · Mexican Lager · One of 20 Mexican Lagers in hopIQ

Bienvenido! is the brewpub's interpretation of a Mexican-style lager, brewed from an all-malt grist without corn or rice. The nose is light and faintly fruity over fresh grain. On the palate a gentle, bready malt sweetness leads, joined by a floral and lightly spicy note from European noble hops. The body is light and the carbonation brisk, which keeps the beer clean from start to finish. Bitterness is very restrained, and the finish is crisp and lingers dry.
