🌍 Canada · Mexican Lager · One of 14 Mexican Lagers in hopIQ

The house summer lager, brewed in the Mexican style and kept deliberately plain. The brewery describes it as smooth, light and easy-drinking, meant to be served cold. In practice that means a pale, lightly grainy malt character, a faint sweetness, and hops that stay almost out of sight, closing on a short and clean finish rather than any lingering note.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Cerveza

Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A modest white head forms on the pour and dissipates steadily, leaving fine lacing that clings briefly to the glass. Carbonation is visible and lively, with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the clear body.

pale strawcrystal clearfine carbonationdelicate lacing

Aroma

Restrained and subtle on the nose, with soft grainy malt notes forming the core of the aromatic profile. A faint sweetness emerges underneath, while noble hops remain nearly imperceptible—just the faintest hint of herbal restraint without assertive character. The overall impression is clean and straightforward, with no yeast or fermentation notes.

Taste

The palate opens with a light, smooth malty character that carries a touch of bready sweetness on entry. The middle remains lean and uncluttered, allowing the Malz to speak without assertive hop bitterness or depth. Hops contribute only the gentlest structural support, keeping the beer refreshing rather than flavorful.

Finish

The finish is short and clean, fading quickly without lingering aftertaste or astringency. A residual malt sweetness dissipates swiftly, leaving the palate dry and ready for the next sip.
