The Brewing Project Major Vida Mexican Lager with Orange Blossom Honey

The Brewing Project Major Vida Mexican Lager with Orange Blossom Honey.

6.5 % ABV. The Brewing Project, Eau Claire, WI. 

And here we have a beer that is not usually likely to find itself in my fridge. When I read "Mexican lager" on the label, it's just not going to go into the shopping cart. But, I got it for free, on Cinco de Mayo. So, naturally, I waited six days to drink it. And here we go...

Clear, bright golden hue, short-lived white head. 

In the nose: Some citrus and sweetness, light floral hops, some malt. 

In the mouth: Light. Easy. Boring. Bland. Faint glimmer of orange. Small amount of hops, whisper of malt. Clean. Well-balanced. Achingly free from flavor. That is, until the honey pipes up, just a little bit. Okay, I get it now. It is what it is. And that's fine. 

But, it's not for me, that's for sure. 

Mexican lager brewed with orange blossom, honey and Motueka hops.
