Pelicano Extra!

Tap to rate

A remarkably crisp, floral hop aroma leads into an invigoratingly spicy hop finish, with a straw color and an ultra-refreshing, clean character. Inspired by the lagers of Latin America and brewed seasonally to celebrate the pelicans' return to the Oregon Coast, it uses six-row malt, flaked corn and Tettnanger hops at 5% ABV and 18 IBU, bottled in clear glass.
