Sol y Luna Lager
BREWERY: Four Corners Brewing Co., Dallas
STYLE: Lager; crisp, refreshing beers, usually with low hops bitterness, mild malts and low alcohol levels.
THE PITCH: Here's a refreshing blonde lager with personality that's perfect for summer. It pours a moderate, foamy head that holds inviting citrus aromas. On the palate, a core of mild malt flavor meets a fresh, crisp counterpoint of hoppy, grapefruit peel bitterness. It's hoppier than your typical lager, which gives it a zingy flavor-edge. The low alcohol content (4.4% abv) and the "360" removable lid make this canned beer especially good for toting outdoors.
FUN FACTS: This new release from Four Corners will be a year-round offering. The name Sol y Luna refers to its suitability as a session beer, enjoyable day or night.
SERVE IT: Most people enjoy their lagers super-chilled, but it's fun to appreciate the range of flavors as this one warms up, too. Great on its own, as well as with a wide variety of foods.
GET SOME: Widely available at liquor stores, supermarkets, and other stores that sell craft beers. Sold year-round in six-packs of 12-ounce cans for about $9.99.
