Inspired by sandy beaches and relaxed vibes, this is a light bodied, refreshing, and easy drinking Mexican-style lager brewed with malted barley and a touch of corn that provides for a subtle tortilla flavor on the finish.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear, pale straw gold with a finger of white eggshell foam that lingers, then dissipates. Aromas of light grain and tortilla chips. Palate is crisp and clean with a slight dried honey sweetness and cereal grains. Balanced finish with nice carbonation.

On tap at the brewery. Clear pale golden with medium white head. Bit grainy, touch of corn, easy drinkable, tad sweet, bitterish. What it says it is.

16oz can. Perhaps the most enjoyable Mexican lager I've ever had. Hyper session able, delicate, soft medium body. Quality ingredients, great brewing. Awesome.

Draft at Goldfinger. Clear golden light lager color under a head that dwindles quickly. The smell is less light than other pale lagers, a sweet malty beer smell with notes of corn. Taste is nice and malty. There is some corn sweetness balanced by a light hop load and bubbly effervescence. Obviously light on flavor as fits the style, but no faults or distractions.
