🌍 Mexico · Light Lager · One of 62 Light Lagers in hopIQ

Pacífico Suave came out in July 2020, the year of the brand's 120th anniversary, as a lighter pilsner-style lager and was rolled out across Mexico. At 3.4 % it sits between the Clara and the Light in strength. It shows a clear, pale gold. The brewery describes a soft body and a balanced flavour in the manner of the Clara, and the profile follows from that: a light grainy malt note, a hint of sweetness, gentle hop bitterness and a crisp, short finish.

The nose is delicate and restrained, leading with soft grain character and a light, clean malt foundation. A subtle sweetness emerges beneath, supported by gentle noble hop notes that add refinement without asserting themselves. The overall impression is fresh and approachable, with no harsh or resinous edges.
