“Savour the sun-soaked spirit of Mexico with Rancho Cerveza. A crisp and refreshing lager that transports you to the heart of the ranch. ¡Salud!”

Glassware: Tulip.

Appearance: Deep golden complexion with a finger of white head perched on top. It steadily reduced to a collar with minimal lace work on the glass.

Aroma: Pretty standard Mexi lager vibes from it. Uber light and refreshing with distinct notes of corn and maize, cereal grains, earthy hops, mildew/wet grass and water crackers. Just a hint of DMS and starchy vegetable accents coming through as it settles. Very basic aroma but it hits the nail on the head.

Flavour: It’s surprisingly full bodied for a mid-strength lager. Full flavoured too! Like the aroma, the kinda sweet and starchy corn and maize get us underway. A very gentle bitterness plus an earthy and slightly grassy hop profile adds the balance. The longer it sits on the palate the more biscuity it becomes…finishing with a touch of water crackers, unflavoured corn chips and oats.

Mouthfeel: Crisp and super clean but carrying a slightly bigger body than most other Mexi lagers we’ve tried previously. Co2 is perfect and the 3.5% ABV bats well above its average.

Overall: It’s a good interpretation of the style. The brewers have done a magnificent job packing the amount of depth and body it has while carrying such a low ABV. Another impressive offering by Cornella.
