Los Locos Mexican Lager

Tap to rate

Epic's Los Locos is what a Mexican-style lager should be: pale, crisp, 4.5%, brewed with flaked maize and a squeeze of lime. Mineral-clean, light, refreshing—the kind of beer that disappears on a hot Utah afternoon without fanfare or pretense. Not fancy. Perfect.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Los Locos Mexican Lager

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine white head that settles to a thin collar. Carbonation is lively and even throughout, creating a steady stream of small bubbles that catch the light. The beer has a clean, transparent appearance characteristic of well-executed Mexican-style lagers.

◌ Aroma

The nose is restrained and mineral-forward, with a subtle lime citrus note that complements rather than dominates. Light grainy-sweet aromas from flaked maize emerge on closer inspection, while hop character remains minimal and grassy in the background. Overall the aroma is clean and uncluttered, inviting without complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry with a clean palate impact. The mid-palate delivers light malty sweetness from the corn adjunct and a touch of citrus zest, balanced by minimal but present bitterness. The beer finishes bone-dry with a brisk, almost mineral quality that leaves no residual sweetness—it drinks light and ephemeral.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and clean, with the mineral dryness lingering briefly on the palate. No warming or alcohol heat; the aftertaste fades quickly and refreshingly, leaving the mouth ready for the next sip.
