a dark, Vienna-style lager from possibly the New World's oldest brewery. The review bottle was bought in Mexico in late February 2004. It pours a mid-chestnut brown colour with a head that is initially thick but quickly shrinks to a thin coating. Nose is quite light - malty with a touches of caramel and toffee, plus some hop character. In the mouth the initial hit is of sweetish toffee with a more bitter, caramel-like quality underlying it. It contrives to have quite a smooth mouthfeel |
