Description
Cervecería Fauna. Es una microcervecería familiar fundada en el año 2012 por los hermanos Larios Rizo en la ciudad de Mexicali, Baja California. Desde sus inicios, se dedicaron a producir cervezas dirigidas a un público aventurero, curioso, y retador. El primer par de cervezas que ofrecieron al mercado artesanal cervecero tienen bastante personalidad, por lo cual ambas, Lycan Lupus y Penélope, fueron rápidamente posicionadas en la frontera entre lo intenso y lo agresivo.

Pint at Hop the Beer Experience 2, pours a pulpy sunset orange, lacing white head. Nose is true to style, has melon and mango, some honey comb, apricot. Flavor has mango, lime now, some orange, passion fruit curd, melon. Finishes with a bit more bitterness than you get in the States, but damn this is on the mark.

Clear, golden colored, medium white head, long lasting. Citrus and pine moderate+ hops, caramel, medium bitterness, bit harsh finish, light alcohol. Medium bodied, soft+ carbonation, oily to resiny. Maybe could be fresher. OK IPA but not head turning.
