Lager 4.5 º 14 IBU

Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma

Tecate presents as a quintessential International Pale Lager, characterized by its brilliant clarity and bright golden hue. The sensory experience begins with a delicate, low-intensity aroma of grainy malt and a subtle, corn-like sweetness, complemented by a very low herbal hop presence. On the palate, the beer is exceptionally balanced, featuring a crisp malt-forward profile with light crackery notes. A mild bitterness provides structure without lingering, leading into a remarkably clean and dry finish. Highly carbonated and light-bodied, this lager emphasizes refreshing drinkability and a neutral fermentation character, reflecting its heritage as a pioneering and award-winning Mexican lager.

Appearance. Bright golden color (approximately 3 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a white, frothy head that has moderate retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Low intensity with a clean fermentation profile. Prominent low grainy-malty character and a slight corny-sweet malt aroma. Very low herbal or spicy hop notes are present in the background.

Taste. Initial impression is a crisp, grainy-malt sweetness with a light bready or crackery quality. Hop flavor is very low to low, showing herbal and spicy notes. Bitterness is medium-low, providing a balanced counterpoint to the malt. The finish is clean, dry, and well-attenuated with a neutral aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that produces a refreshing carbonic bite on the tongue. Smooth and crisp with no perceived alcohol warmth or astringency.
