WeldWerks Brewing Co. Long Bones Mexican Lager

What the brewers say

“Mexican-style lager brewed with pilsner malt and flaked maize.”

What our panel thought

“This is a great example of the style—light, crisp, lively—with enough character despite nothing particular standing out. Nicely balanced, slightly bitter, low minerality, stingy with esters, hints of sweetness on the finish, and a bit of tartness to round things out. Classic and well-made.”

What our editors thought

“Quirky nose with celery stalk and mosquito repellent. The sip is a touch sweet and unstructured.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Ratio Beerworks Rooftops

“Crisp herbal notes float up from the foam. Flavor is extremely light; has a corny, sweet, creamy quality in the middle. Subdued hop bitterness doesn’t help balance the sweetness.”

Epic Brewing Los Locos

**Aroma:** “Light biscuit sweetness up front, with some floral spice. Strong lime notes, like a margarita, with lemongrass and light earthiness. Some yeast, with moderate sulfur.” **Flavor:** “Strong citrus lime flavor comes through up front, with a saltiness that adds some complexity. The bread-like malt character gives way to the sweet lime and citrus notes. Light hops spiciness, with a light sourness, almost like a gose. Moderate carbonation with a medium body that finishes with a heavy lime note that continues to grow after the sip.” **Overall:** “This is a refreshing, citrusy lager, very much like a light margarita. Could be a fruit beer or a gose, but is more in line with some of the flavored German beers geared toward nonbeer/cocktail people.”

King Harbor Brewing Co AJ's Hotel Business

“Weedy profile connects with supporting cast of woody-earthy-soil in fresh pellet form. Confident approach and overall soft balance allow hops to shine. Bitterness has an astringency that lets the beer down. Some alcohol burn. A bit too harsh in the finish.”
