When you think of a word that describes a beer that is effervescent and light in color and body, you tend to think of a lager. Well, Ska has a different idea for you – a “logger” beer. A beer that tastes great, and tastes even better after a long day of working with a chainsaw.
If you are the type of person who, lets hope no one is, enjoys drinking Bud Light or Miller Light – I encourage you to spend the extra couple of dollars for this canned beauty. The Ska Mexican Logger pours a beautiful golden color with a nice sudsy white head.
The aroma is that of a zesty hops with grassy notes. Upon first taste, you will get a simple citrus flavor followed by a subtle hint of grass. The fact that you can buy it canned makes it extremely friendly to bikepackers who like to kick back while in the field.
This refreshing brew pairs well with green salads topped in creamy dressings, and cream based soups. I, however, ate it with homemade chicken pesto pizza and it was a delight.
Don’t get me wrong, this beer is not extremely superior, however, if you are thinking along the lines of PBR or Bud Light, this is a MUCH better choice. As stated on the Ska website, “If you are a closet Pacifico drinker during the warmer weather then seek this one out. It is a far better brew.”
