Usually corn is used by big breweries as additional ingredients just to lower the price of production. Our Cortez - named after the spanish conqueror - contains corn for another reason. Thanks to a unique method developed by the Rizmajer Brewery Cortez is a real mexican style beer with 55% corn and 45% light, pilsner malt. It's not a beer with corn - it's a corn beer.

This corn beer represents a softer, sweeter flavour. The combination of the corn and hops evokes the american-mexican beers' taste in a less spicy, more pure and simple way. Cortez is the perfect example that it's not the advertisement and marketing what makes a good beer, but the knowledge, experience and the good amount of the highest quality ingredients. It fits perfectly to spicy and exotic meals - doesn't matter if it's chili con carne or sweet&sour chicken.

Draught at Rizmajer Sörház, Budapest. Clear, pale gold colored. AROMA- malt, corn, touch of bread, noble hops. FLAVOR- neutral, moderately bitter, malt corn, noble hops. Medium bodied. Not bad.

Tap at Legfelsőbb Beeróság, Budapest. Poured a clear very light straw colour with a thin white head. The aroma is yeast, malt, very light hop. The flavour is light bitter with some sweet notes and a malty woody hop bitter, light bubbly palate. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Way too light all round and only worth a tick, nothing more. It’s amazing that beers like this survive.

Nagy, nagyon tartós hab, egészen világos borostyán szín. Enyhe, viszonylag semleges illatvilág, érezni benne a kukoricát. Malátás, kukoricás ízek. Enyhén édeskés, jelzés értékűen kesernyés, közepesen testes és szénsavas. Kellemes itóka, jó egyensúllyal.
