🌍 Mexico · Mexican Lager · One of 31 Mexican Lagers in hopIQ

Pacífico Clara is the brewery's flagship, a pale Mexican lager brewed in Mazatlán from two- and six-row barley malt, a share of corn and hops. It pours a clear pale gold with a light, foamy white head and lively carbonation. The nose is subtle, with grainy malt, a little sweetness and grassy hop notes. On the palate it stays light and crisp: soft cereal sweetness, a touch of citrus, a faint tartness and mild bitterness lead into a short, dry finish.
