Big Drop - Coba Maya
This cerveza, or "lager" as it's known round here, is delivered from a 330 ml can, has a mere 33 calories contained therein and scores a modest 11 IBU - so I'm not expecting much of a hop punch. The ingredients include lactose - thus it is a cerveza not suitable for vegans. Hersbrucker and Hallertau hops are used, together with barley, oats and rice. The modest white head dissipates quite quickly whilst the aroma is distinctively floral and fruity. Tastewise the fruits theme continues, with orange and apple in the main, but also with a touch of sherbet. The mouthfeel is rather thin and flat, whilst the finish is clean if slightly too sweet. On the can it is suggested to add a slice of lime. This is a great improvement to the taste - the citrus edge takes away some of that sweetness and makes for a far crisper and refreshing drink. Have your lime slice at the ready.
