Stone Brewing Buenaveza
What the brewers say
“Crisp, clean, refreshing Mexican-style lager that quenches thirsts, while gratifying taste buds.”
What our panel thought
“Lime explodes from the glass; you can taste the salted rim before a drop hits your lips. Margaritaville: full-on assault of lime and salt. A bit watery. Leans unbalanced—more lime juice than beer. Impression of pouring lager into remnants of a margarita pitcher.”
What our editors thought
“Salt and lime guide the nose; earthy, corn tortilla–like sweetness sells the theme. Just when you expect a caricature, the sip delivers restrained saline-and-citrus expression that’s nuanced, genuine, and beer-forward.”
