Mexican-style Lager
We used a base of Barke Pilsner malt then added flaked maize (non GMO corn; fancy, I know) for a lighter body with extra crushability. Hopped with German Saphir and American Noble Citra, we kept the bitterness on the lower end of the spectrum. This beer was fermented cold with our house lager strain and then lagered forever (8 weeks) for a crisp, clean finish and about as much clarity as you can for a brewery that doesn't filter.

Draught at Luppolo, Vancouver, dink pour
Pale blond colour. Mild aroma of hops. Soft mouthfeel, timid hops, and mild bitterness.
Quite simple.

Okay pale straw body and modest foam. Nice hop aroma, soft tart vegetal notes. Taste is nice hops and sweet corn, ends smooth with modest carbonation. Clean, easy.

Pale gold. Thin head. Touch of biscuity malt. This is made well. Not much hop, but a sweet juicy malt. I wanted to hate this but no. It's good. (Which also means it has nothing to do with Mexican-style lager, whatever the hell that is).

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. Simple, crisp, boring, inoffensive.
