Description
Latin American, Made in Xicago

The vast and delicious cuisines of Central and South America hold a treasure trove of flavors, aromas and textures, much of which feels right at home in a well-made beer. We combine these ingredients and ideas with our own experiences to make subtle and deeply delicious beers, not mere novelty items. Each beer speaks with our voice and adds to the story. We put the best ingredients together so that the whole beer adds up to much more than the sum of its parts.

I had trouble deciding how to rate this, I’ll try to narrate the whole experience. First pour, golden, foamy into my Spaten tulip. Nose was rich with a combo of mango, spicy and citrus hops, didn’t get the juniper unless it was part of the spice of what I thought was hops. I loved it right then, was thinking it might be a 4.5 rating, but then on the first sip I was a bit let down. The body seemed flat, thin, more bitter citrus and mango, than hoppy, again no juniper that I could easily discern. But as I worked my way through the 750, this beer grew and grew on me, sure a little more liveliness in the palate and carbonation would help it but I guess in the end, I liked it quite a bit. Drank while cooking Christmas dinner.

12oz bottle. Hazy yellow-tan. Soapy foamy white head. A mess of a beer. Strong Pale Lager sugary nonsense, but with better ingredients. In no way is this beer really enjoyable. A chore to drink. Tastes very Eastern European...in a bad way. The aroma just gets worse and worse. Bad stuff.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a wheat glass. Aroma is lemony wheat, medium/light body, medium carbonation, and thin tight small-bubble lacing. Taste is light lemon, grapefruit hops, and slightly bitter hop finish. Good easy drinking wheat beer.

Refrigerated 75 cl brown bottle poured into a Trappist glass. Slightly hazy golden with small medium white head. Aroma is muscat grapes, light/medium body, medium carbonation, and thick medium-bubble lacing. Taste is wheat, muscat grapes, pear, and dry finish. The flavor don’t meld for me, as it warms it becomes more dry white wine.

Bottle courtesy of weihenweizen. Passionfruit, lime, wheat malt, and coriander aroma - the aroma was screaming "drink me!" Cloudy yellow with a moderate white head. Wheat malt, lime, passionfruit, and coriander flavor. Medium body, moderate carbonation, slightly dry finish. I hope I’m able to find more of this one.
