Brew Info:

• Brewery: Bohemian Brewery (Midvale, Utah)
• Website: http://www.bohemianbrewery.com/
• Brew: Sir Veza Mexican-Style Lager
• Style: Mexican-Style Lager
• Serving: 12 ounce can
• ABV: 4.7%
• IBUs: 13 
• Ingredients: German lager yeast, Pilsener and Vienna malt, and flaked corn 
• Pour: The Sir Veza pours a clear, pale golden-yellow hue with a half-finger, frothy, bright white head with good retention and light lacing.
• Nose: The nose is toasty, grainy, and slightly sweet and fruity.  There are aromas of corn meal, cut hay, grassy hops, light apple, cracked wheat, and a hint of soft caramel.
• Taste: The taste is like the nose... grainy, lightly hoppy, slightly sweet, and malty with very low bitterness.  There are notes of crackery biscuit, corn, light apple, a hint of lemon, grassy hops, and light caramel.
• Mouthfeel: Light-bodied and well-carbonated, the mouthfeel is very crisp, smooth, and refreshing with a clean, mellow finish.

Overall pairing: The straightforward, very sessionable, very crushable flavors of Bohemian's tasty and easy-drinkin' Sir Veza Mexican-Style Lager is perfect for the zany, beer-swilling humor and punk sensibilities of Fear's very fun "More Beer" album!  'Nuff said!

Cheers rockers and rollers!!
