12 West Brewing Company Onza
What the brewers say
“Brewed with flaked maize, lime juice, Czech Saaz, and Motueka hops.”
What our panel thought
“Malt-foward with a kiss of sweet lime zest to keep it drinkable and honest. The flavor drops off a bit. Bready malt and sweet corn-on-the-cob preview an effervescent, dry finish. Very clean, but the acidity doesn’t match the lime aroma, and that’s a bit off-putting.”
What our editors thought
“Subtle layered lime notes in the nose with a bright minerality. Hefty malt in the sip gets cut instantly by lime acidity and a touch of bitterness, but resurfaces in the lingering lime finish.”
