The traditional Vienna Lager style originated in Austria, and then continued in Mexico after a short wave of Austrian occupation, in the late 1800s, brought with it an influx of European brewers. Smooth and drinkable, yet complex in its malt profile, this amber lager is a joy to drink on any occasion. Ours has exactly 8 different kinds of malts, for a wonderful malt complexity, and a traditional Hallertauer noble hop presence, which helps dry out the finish and makes you want to come back for more. Although we are debuting Ocho Maltas on Cinco de Mayo, this amber brew is meant to be quaffed any time of year. Salud!

Brewery draught, 6/28/25.
Clear, deep amber-mahogany. Medium-sized, dark beige head.
Lots of random malt notes in the nose. Toast, coffee, vanilla, brown bread, white bread. A bit odd to use 8 malts. Seems clean, with low hopping per the style. Not as much base malt though, leaving it a bit overly toasty/grainy.
Similar in the mouth. It's not thin, but it's also not comforting in the malt texture. Dry, toasty, grainy, a bit husky, with low hops and no flaws noted.
