🌍 United States · Mexican Lager · One of 23 Mexican Lagers in hopIQ

Explorando is a Mexican-style lager that Bottle Logic brews with flaked corn and rice. The two adjuncts keep the body light and the flavour very clean. The aroma recalls fresh, soft white bread, and the palate pairs a gentle malt sweetness with a soft bitterness. The corn adds a faint note of sweet grain, while the rice dries out the finish, which ends crisp. The beer is part of a small lager line under the Explorando name.

A restrained, soft bitterness balances the sweetness without dominating, while rice adjunct begins to dry the finish progressively.
