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, served with lemon (I didn’t ask it). Pale yellow colour, with a small white head. Smell is corn, with some little hop. Taste too, a bit waterish. Drinkable. Ok with some spicy food.

Small white head. Clear yellow body. Faint mealy aroma. Dry papery rubbery taste with strawy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel, slightly mealy. Dryish mealy grassy strawy aftertaste with herbal notes. Rather like a pils. Boring. (0.3l draft at Léhűtő, Budapest. Apparently contains maize.)

Draught at Főzdefeszt III, Budapest. Yellow coloured, small white head, veeery lively carbonation, hint of lemon in the nose. Slight yeasty and bready with pretty strong corn presence. Somehow even lactic with short finish. All in all not so good beer.
Draught at the brewpub. Served with slice of lemon. Light yeasty and quite lactic taste with pronounced maize presence. Some light acidity (from the lemon of course) in the finish.

Pale yellow body with a small white head. Sourish nose. This is a corn lager and the slightly bready taste, loaded with corn, doesn’t lie. Tangy. Useless. Why?
