Dos Burros

Tap to rate

A Mexican-inspired ale: tropical, brewed with Mosaic hops, with a fruity note and a very light bitterness. Brewer Maarten built it from his travels through Mexico, using a corn-centered mash and a hefty dose of tamarind on top, meant to send the tastebuds south of the border. 5.5% ABV, 25 IBU.
