This kit is packed with top-quality ingredients that will tantalize your taste buds. The 3.3 lbs. of Munich Liquid Malt Extract and 2 lbs. of Pilsen Dry Malt Extract lay the foundation for this brew, providing a rich, malty backbone. The 1 lb. of Flaked Maize adds a touch of sweetness, reminiscent of a freshly baked corn tortilla.
But the flavor journey doesn't stop there. The 8 oz. of Vienna Malt and 8 oz. of Biscuit Malt work in harmony to create a bready complexity that's as comforting as your favorite bakery. And to top it all off, the 2 oz. of Tettnang Hops add a subtle bitterness, balancing out the sweetness and providing a crisp, clean finish.
So, why not slice up a lime, kick back, and let the Tacocat Mexican Cervesa beer kit transport you to a world of brewing adventure? After all, life's too short for boring beer. Brew up this classic today and let your taste buds do the fiesta!
