Beer of the Week

The beer: Mexican Lager

Brewed by: Väsen Brewing Company, Richmond, Virginia

Description (from Untappd): "This brew is light, clean, and extremely crushable from a can, but if you slow down long enough you might notice hints of citrus and maize along with the classic malty lager flavors from our traditional Mexican lager yeast. ¡Arriba, abajo, al centro y adentro! Brewed with lime peel & salt."

Would I buy it again?: Another lager, another excuse to bring out the Yuengling test. Is this beer good? Yes, I liked it. Would I buy it over a Yuengling? No, I wouldn't. It did definitely taste different, I'll give it that, and it wasn't a bad taste, that citrus and maize, but it's not enough to justify the extra money.

Beer of the Week

The beer: Los Lobos Mexican Lager

Brewed by: Tall Tales Brewing Company, Parsonsburg, Maryland

Description (from the website): "A Parsonsburg classic made with locally malted two-row barley and corn."

Would I buy it again?: No, I wouldn't. I'm not sure what exactly makes a lager a Mexican Lager, but if it's being bland, than this is a great example. It wasn't even bad enough for me to really dislike, it was just mediocre.
