Lager 6 º

Heineken

This American Lager presents a vibrant golden profile that departs from the style’s usual neutrality by incorporating a distinct tequila-inspired character. The aroma is defined by refreshing lemony citrus and subtle spicy notes, layered over a light, grainy malt base. On the palate, it balances a moderately sweet, corn-like grain character with a bright, zesty tang reminiscent of lime and agave spirits. While maintaining the crispness expected of a lager, it offers a more substantial body and a hint of alcohol warmth at 6% ABV, finishing with a light, thirst-quenching bitterness and a clean, refreshing citrus aftertaste.

Appearance. Medium yellow to golden color (3-5 SRM); clear to brilliant clarity; white, frothy head with low to moderate persistence and minimal lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a clean fermentation profile; low grainy and sweet corn-like malt aroma, punctuated by prominent lemony citrus and spicy tequila-like notes; very low floral or herbal hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is sweet and citrusy; low grainy malt flavor with a touch of corn-like sweetness; tequila flavoring provides a distinct agave and spice character; low bitterness with minimal herbal hop flavor; balance is slightly sweet and fruity; finishes crisp and relatively dry with a lingering lemon-lime note.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body; high carbonation providing a crisp carbonic bite; subtle alcohol warmth; no astringency or creaminess.
