Pacifico (71cl, 4.4%)

A Mexican pilsner-style lager from Mazatlán, Sinaloa, brewed by Cervecería del Pacífico. Founded in 1900 by three German immigrant brewers, the brewery uses two-row and six-row barley, specially roasted malts, American hops, rice and corn. The result is a clean, dry lager with 18 IBUs of mild bitterness and a light-grain backbone with subtle sea-breeze character. It is best served ice cold, straight from the can or poured into a chilled pint glass, with an optional lime wedge, and works well in a Michelada, Chelada or Beer Margarita. Aroma: malty grain, subtle floral hop accents and a faint saline quality. Taste: bright, crisp light malt sweetness moving into a dry, clean mid-palate with mild hop bitterness. Finish: short to medium, dry, with lingering grain and floral hops.
