Chido Cerveza

Tap to rate

Chido is a Mexican-style lager brewed in Dublin with real lime zest, so the citrus sits in the beer itself. The lime shows as a restrained, zesty note over a light malt base. The beer is pale and crisp with a clean, refreshing finish and, at 4 %, is built for everyday drinking rather than for the specialist shelf. It reached Irish shops in April 2026 and went on to the taps afterwards.

Chido presents a pale golden hue characteristic of the Mexican lager style, with excellent clarity and bright translucence. The head forms quickly and dissipates to a thin collar with modest lacing. Fine carbonation creates a lively visual presence suited to its everyday drinking purpose.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with restrained lime zest that sits naturally in the beer rather than as a surface note, offering a fresh citrus character without overwhelming the underlying malt. Supporting notes of light grain and a faint herbaceous quality from noble hops provide balance. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no yeast-derived esters or phenolics.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a crisp, light malt foundation that allows the lime zest to express itself clearly without dominating. The bitterness is gentle and well-integrated at 12 IBU, serving primarily to refresh rather than assert. Mid-palate remains dry and lean, building toward a clean conclusion with no cloying sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the lime character lingering briefly before fading into a dry, mineral-like aftertaste. No harsh notes or astringency remain; the beer concludes with the crispness it promises.
