Because everyone needs a friend. It seems only natural that with San Diego being one of the closest cities to the Mexican Border that you would find a beer like Amigo. Brewed in the San Diego Lager style, this all malt lager is a refreshing way to start or finish a drinking session. The product of a true lager fermentation, this beer is crisp and lighter in body than most ales of similar strength making it a friendly choice for any occasion.

Malts- Pilsner and Two Row
Hops- German Magnum and Czech Saaz

RB#5700: From tap at the brewery. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Mild caramel malt aroma but rather vague. Light caramel flavour and clean brew. Mild bitterness into the finish. As told: a beer brewed for those visitors that don’t really like beer :)

Just for shits and giggles I checked out the Amigo. Golden colour, with slight amber. Decent bubbly head. Unionmade aroma simply reeks of corn. Quick and bland. Decently made but boring, and even a small glass is a bit painful.

Draught Small white rim over pale copper-metallic coloured beer. Almonds, pale and lightly coloured malts. Sweet malts, again this almondy flavour. Ends a bit empty, slightly bitterish. MF is NOT empty, even quite some grist slickness. Very special lager - not a Pilsener.

Draught at Port Brewing on 3/24/07
Thin white head is quickly diminished, leaving only a few patches of lace behind. Rather light, golden-blonde color with some slightly darker maize-like notes and a high clarity.
Not much going on in the nose….Bit of corn-like notes, though not really the offensive type. Light vanillin and dry, grainy malts that are quite bare and not very fresh/crisp smelling. Some nutty, minimally noticeable hops and a finish very devoid of yeast crispness. Mineral water-like notes and grain aromas mostly, and pretty weak at that. Didn’t get any DMS in the nose.
Before even mentioning the flavor, the body and carbonation were way off. Extremely loose carbonation leads to a very thin/watery mouthfeel. And it seems like there just isnt enough malt in the beer either, as much of the flavor is water. After that, some dry, bready, nearly astringent cracker-like notes, slight corn/borderline DMS notes and a bit of waxiness/paperiness. Even the malt flavor that was present was pretty bland, stale and washed out. Not sure what to make of this one. I could understand if it was left on too long at a beer bar, but served right at Port Brewing in this condition? Strange.

Draught @ Port Brewing, San Marcos. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Malty grainy aroma. Sweet malty grainy and slightly grassy flavor, with some fruity hints. Malty finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.
