Enough hop bitterness keeps the malt sweetness in balance; complexity is modest. |

| Likeness | It drinks as a Märzen: toasted malt, bread crust, and a bitterness gentle enough to leave the malt in front. The likeness is convincing. The flavor is quieter than the style usually is. | Recognizably a Mexican-style lime lager — citrus over cereal malt with restrained bitterness — in a light, delicate frame. | Full malt character, medium body and balancing bitterness make a convincing Märzen shape. |
