This Mexican Dark Lager was brewed for our 8th anniversary with Structures Brewing out of Bellingham. This lager is a loose attempt at riffing on Negra Modelo. The grain bill of this lager uses a complex mix of German base, crystal and roast malts as well as purple corn. The result is a rich, luscious dark lager that leans more towards the toasty and sweet side than it does the more bitter roasty side which makes it immensely enjoyable and sessionable.

473 ml can. Pours a reddish brown with moderate head. Aromas of sweat, corn, and thin toasted malts. Flavors of grain and corn with medicinal/floral notes. What makes this Mexican? Odd.

Poured from the tap @ Darby's. Clear copper brown with small off white head. Mild caramel and toasted malt with a feint hint of medicinal notes in the background. Average.

On tap at Darby's. Pours clear brown with a white head. Light bready malts and a bit of nuts on the nose. Flavour has gentle bready malts, some nuts. Fairly uninteresting.

On tap at Darby’s, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Nose has toasted bready malt, maybe a hint of dusty nuts. Flavour is soft, with bready malt, light sugars, some earthiness. Not a particularly pleasant malt character, a little clumsy, and just uninteresting. Meh.
