Brewhouse Cerveza

Great Western Brewing Company

Tap to rate

Corn joins the two-row barley here and it shows: the aroma is sweet and grainy with a light citric lift behind it, closer to fresh tortilla than to bread. The palate is soft and mildly sweet up front, the bittering light and well placed, and a faint lime-like brightness runs through the middle. Thin-bodied, briskly carbonated and clean, it closes quickly with no malt weight left over.
