Tap to rate

Slightly bitter, with a hint of sweetness on the finish and a bit of tartness. This Mexican-style lager is brewed with pilsner malt and flaked maize and comes in at 5.3%. The can shows a Day of the Dead style calaca dog among marigolds, and a dark sibling, Long Bones Dark, stands next to it on the draft list at WeldWerks in Greeley, Colorado.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Long Bones

◎ Appearance

Long Bones presents a pale straw-gold color with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A modest white head forms quickly and recedes to a thin collar with light lacing. Carbonation is brisk and visible, characteristic of a well-conditioned lager.

◌ Aroma

The nose is clean and understated, leading with soft grain and a delicate corn-derived sweetness from the flaked maize adjunct. Light herbal and grassy notes emerge from restrained noble hop usage, with no aggressive aromatics—a classic Mexican lager restraint.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing with a lean malt body. Mid-palate balances bready grain and subtle corn character against gentle bitterness (12 IBU) and a mild tartness that adds complexity without aggression. The finish is notably dry, pivoting from that opening sweetness to a clean, mineral-edged conclusion.
