US Pint at the brewery on 21st April 2025. This is the dark brother of their Los Santos Lager, it's a clear and clean amber coloured brew with an off-white head that soon turns into a wisp and collar. Malty and semi-sweet in nature, it's both refreshing and OK. I quite enjoy these dark Mexican lagers.

US Pint at the brewery on 21st April 2025. Bright, clear and clean red ale with a wispy off white head. Malty, semi sweet and very drinkable, didn't pick up on the Kveik yeast.

10 oz pour into a bulbous glass at the brewery on 21st April 2025. Cloudy, opaque orange, wispy white head. Orange like aroma and initial taste, mango's and other tropical fruits joined in and it became fairly dank in nature.

US Pint at the brewery on Mega Monday $5:00 all day pints ($5:00 plus Tax of 38 cents and 20% Tip), 21st April 2025. Poured into a tall glass, it's pale gold in colour, almost clear; on top a soft white head that lasted. Dry and fairly bitter for a Bock, almost harsh in fact.

On tap at Abnormal, pours a deep dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt, toasted nuts, and light crusts. Flavour is very soft and light, with red fruits and bready malt. Not dry and toasty enough to be an authentic Czech dark lager. But it's fine.

Part of a four beer flight at the brewpub on 2nd July 2023. Clean and clear light golden body, short lived white crown. Not much going on aroma or flavour wise, but it's refreshing and cold. Rice Lagers have never been a thing with me, not that I've had many!

Part of a four beer flight at the brewpub on 2nd July 2023. Their take on a Mexican Dark Lager. Clean mahogany body, beige crust on top. Nice, easy going Dark Lager with a malty front and a slight sweetness, gave a bit of color to the flight.

2nd July 2023, liked this so much I had it on both flights at the brewpub. Clean golden body, white head. The hop combination works well and it's fruity without going overboard, some good bitterness in there, malt action for some sweetness gives balance. Best beer at the brewpub on my visit in my opinion.

Part of a four beer flight at the brewpub on 2nd July 2023. This is their latest take on a Mexican style Lager. Very pale golden body, clean and clear, with a snow white cap. Refreshing and thirst quenching, but rather odourless and tasteless compared to other beers on the flight.
