Common descriptors are
Vienna, Austria, is famous for their uniquely malty-sweet amber-coloured beer, really since the beginning of widespread lager brewing in the 1800s. At that same time, many Austrian brewers immigrated to Mexico and established an identical brewing tradition down there. Some well-known commercial examples survive to this day, but their quality has declined over time. We promise our historically-accurate version is bigger and better overall, but still just as nice with tacos. Crisp and grainy with some caramel sweetness, balanced by aromatic noble hops for a refreshingly dry finish. Prost!
