Pachanga

Tap to rate

Pachanga is a lager in the Mexican manner, brewed with corn in the grist alongside barley and wheat. The base is crisp and clean; lime and a pinch of sea salt, both added in the brewery, give it its character. Lime leads the aroma, and tasters describe sweet, biscuity malt underneath, a faint salty edge and a subtle spice. Carbonation is lively, the body feels light for the strength, and the beer ends bright and refreshing.
