Cerveza Extraordinaria

Tap to rate

Citra hops bring citrus and a light grassy note to aroma and palate, rounded off by a fine fruitiness, with a subtle bitterness in the background and a soft taste from the corn flakes in the grist. A brewing enzyme breaks the gluten down. A light, fresh Mexican-style lager of 4.5%, brewed at Troost in Amsterdam.
