DON VALLEJO

Beer Profile

DON VALLEJO

Don Vallejo is a unique interpretation of the classic Mexican Lager, distinguished by its maturation in oak barrels. This aging process imparts subtle vanilla and toasted wood notes, layering complexity over the typically crisp and light lager base. Expect a clear, pale gold appearance, a delicate aroma of corn and honey, and a smooth, medium-light body. The barrel character integrates seamlessly, offering a refined dryness on the finish that elevates the traditional easy-drinking character of the style. This lager presents a nuanced balance between refreshing drinkability and sophisticated oak influence.
