- Pour: The Agua Del Diablo pours a clear, bright golden yellow hue with a bubbly, thin white head with good retention and light soapy lacing.
- Nose: The nose is grainy, floral, slightly citrusy, and malty. There are aromas of corn chips, lime, grassy hops, light lemon zest, smooth caramel/toffee, and crackery biscuit.
- Taste: The taste of the Agua Del Diablo follows the nose with grassy, malty, grainy, and lightly citrusy flavors. There are notes of sweet corn, pale malt, grassy hops, lemongrass, lemon zest, freshly baked wheat bread, and hints of soft toffee.
- Mouthfeel: Light to medium-bodied and well carbonated, the mouthfeel is very crisp and smooth, with a dry, clean finish.
Overall pairing: The Silver Reef Agua Del Diablo Mexican Style Lager is a great beer to crush whilst rockin' the hell out to the killer tunes on King Ov Wyrms' wonderful "Lord Ov Thornes" album! Those crisp, bright notes really make for a great foil to those soul-crushing guitars, bass, and drums! The easy drinkability of the beer is perfect for the more fast-paced attack, while those malty notes go well with the heaviness! I also love the look of the album cover artwork coupled with beer label art!
Salud and hails!!
