Taco Truck Lager

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 2A). Can 35 cl - Batch 1226 (BB undeclared - canned on 12/02/24) AROMA: medium grainy and slightly sweet malt profile. APPEARANCE: deep gold color and cristal clear. medium-low white head with low retention. TASTE: medium to medium-low clear grainy flavor with a touch of sweetness. medium-low bitterness with a dry and slightly bitter finish. MOUTHFEEL: low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a nice mexican-style craft lager without perceptible off-flavours or production faults.

Very clear golden coloured body with a frothy and fairly large pure white head that fades quickly and leaves a pretty nasty lace up top. Aroma of light easy-going malts with some biscuits, wheat and especially rice noticeable in the nose here, with a touch of lager yeast and very little else. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and biscuity notes dominate up front with a lot of hay and flowers and some moderate rice notes with a clean yeast profile that doesn't show any bread or anything else that lasts. Aftertaste is clean and very easy-drinking with some moderate sweetness and a light kick of biscuits here, but no real hops to speak of, nor of any sugars - this goes down pretty easily, in a good way with a light body and some smooth malt notes. Good to sample and interestingly enough, this was one of the only beers that was NOT an IPA in the entire store! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Trader Joe's in San Francisco (North Beach), California on 28-August-2022 for US$1,67 sampled in my hotel room here in San Francisco, California on 29-August-2022.

19.2 Oz can, drank on Christmas Day 2021 while at my daughters in California. Light mistiness in the pale golden body, short lived white head. Straw and grainy nose, taste also slightly grainy. As the beer warmed in the glass it became a little metallic in nature and not so refreshing or pleasant as it was initially.

(tap) clear, bright yellow colour with a small white head; aroma of grain; balanced flavour with a long, light bitter finish

Draft. Golden beer with a cream head. Light malt aroma. Light malt and light mineral flavor with light citrus. Medium bodied. Mineral and light malt lingers.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma of slighty cooked malt and something citrus or fruity. Approaches med body. Flavor starts fruit bitter, goes into pale malt and finishes on a nicely bitter note. Better than expected - better than many.
