#118 La Constancia brewery - Barrilito


I am strugling to find info about this brewery. This is another beer my friends brought me from Mexico. I think it is made by the La Constancia brewery which is owned by SABMiller, but that all the info I can find quickly.

This beer smells like a lager, with the chalky aroma that I've found in many lagers. The color is a very light staw that is almost colorless, I can see through the glass as well as I can see through a glass of water. The beer starts with a head of foam, but it quickly fizzes away.

This beer is a basic lager. The taste is a little sweet, with some light hop flavors that last only seconds. There is the common lager chalky dry taste that I don't like, and it is really clear in the finish. The mouthfeel is thin and watery.

For a basic lager this beer is better than most. There is a little extra hops that helps the beer shine in a group of dull beers. If I was in Mexico I might choose this beer. But I am likly to forget the beer after this post since I can't find much info about the brewery and the beer is only better than bad beers.
