Sawmill Brewery's Cerveza Mexican Lager is a refreshing and well-balanced lager that captures the essence of traditional Mexican beers. With its crystal-clear golden yellow hue and a persistent white head that leaves a delicate lacing on the glass, this beer is visually appealing. The aroma offers a refreshing bouquet of sweet corn, zesty lime, and a hint of herbaceous hops, creating a captivating and inviting nose. On the palate, the beer is crisp and refreshing, with a balance of sweet corn and zesty citrus notes. The subtle bitterness from the hops enhances the overall flavor profile without overpowering the other elements, resulting in a clean and slightly grainy aftertaste. The light and effervescent mouthfeel, coupled with a medium body, creates a smooth and highly drinkable experience. The pronounced sweetness from the use of corn in the mash, the zesty and refreshing lime notes, the subtly bitter hops, and the underlying grainy character all come together to form a well-rounded and harmonious flavor profile. Cerveza Mexican Lager is an ideal companion for light dishes such as tacos, salads, and seafood, as well as spicy and flavorful cuisines like Mexican and Thai.
