Indeed Mexican Honey Imperial Lager

Tap to rate

Indeed's imperial Mexican lager — 8% ABV brewed with orange blossom honey, low IBU by design. Honey-tinged malt sweetness carries the alcohol; the finish stays crisp rather than heavy. The kind of imperial lager Mexican-style breweries wish they'd invented. Minneapolis quietly outperforming Corona at Corona's own game.

Entry is smooth and honeyed, with grainy malt backbone carrying the elevated alcohol without heaviness. Mid-palate shows a delicate balance of sweetness and crispness; the honey character persists without cloying. Bitterness is restrained at 17 IBU, allowing malt and adjunct to dominate while maintaining dry structure on the palate.
