ฮอปโชว์เคส: โซเลโร

That mango and passionfruit really does come through on the nose before you even take a sip, and the finish stays crisp instead of turning syrupy. Perfect summer beer for a hot afternoon, and at 5% it’s easy to have a second one.

The pour was a beautiful hazy gold, and the first sip hit me with that peppery floral kick before the mango sweetness rolled in. Exactly the kind of crisp, weird hop character I was hoping for in a 5% lager.

The tropical mango and passionfruit really come through on the nose, and it finishes way crisper than most 5% lagers I’ve tried. That Solero hop character is something else—fruity up front, then a nice little floral spice that keeps things interesting. I’m already on my second six-pack.
