🌍 United States · Light Lager · One of 8 Light Lagers in hopIQ

Monterey Lime from Alvarado Street Brewery in Salinas, California is a breezy, sun-drenched Light Lager that captures the laid-back spirit of the Central Coast. It pours a pale, crystal-clear straw yellow with a fine white head that fades quickly, leaving the glass clean and inviting. The aroma is fresh and citrus-forward, with lively lime zest riding above a subtle grainy malt backbone. On the palate, it drinks crisp and light-bodied, delivering a refreshing burst of tart lime character balanced by gentle cereal sweetness. Carbonation is lively, enhancing the clean, thirst-quenching feel. The finish is short and dry, with a pleasant citrus tang that lingers just long enough to beckon another sip. Perfect for warm Californian afternoons.
