San Lucas Cerveza
Appearance: A stunningly beautiful light golden-colored beer with a huge white head that retains very well. The carbonation is moderate with excellent lace. Aroma: Aroma is sweet and grassy with lots of light malt and hints of corn. Blessedly free of skunk, which was surprising considering the clear glass bottle it is packaged in. Taste: Begins with lots of soft carbonation, lightly sweet malt flavors as the start, which gradually turn slightly tart at the finish. Finishes slightly dry but without the harsh astringency noted in some other Latin American lagers. Mouth feel: The mouthfeel is quite smooth and full for the style. Drinkability/notes: A good choice for a really hot summer day. I suspect it would also appeal to women and Corona-drinking friends - not necessarily a bad thing. Presentation: Package reviewed was a 12 ounce clear glass longneck with blue, yellow, and white enameling and a pop off crown. The packaging is quite similar to the Corona bottle - although I'm sure this is merely a coincidence. Served in a standard pint tap glass.
