My Son-in-Law (Matt) had to visit Media in Philly earlier this year and I asked him to find me something interesting to bring home: he chose this Mexican style peasant lager. He has brought some real hideous stuff over the years on his travels, so I shouldn’t have expected a great deal I suppose. Anyway the 650ml bottle was duly colded and opened on 22 Dec 13: Matt and I shared it, no lime used in the tasting! The beer was golden yellow with a slight haze to mine because I poured everything left in the bottle into my glass. The white head tried to hang around but failed somewhat. The nose was grainy with a mini citrus hop hint: gets my usual 3 for an almost odourless lager/pilsner. The taste was refreshing, summery and fairly light in flavour: More sweet than the aroma suggested and those citrus notes disappeared in the mouth. This was OK to be honest. Wrong time of the year (here in Shropshire) for this type of beer but a lot better than I thought it might be. I’m not a fan of Mexican lagers which is why it was bought for me. At least the other beer Matt brought back will test my taste buds: in fact it’s a ’Humdinger’ of a beer, Magic Hat’s Burnpile Smoked Porter!
