903 Brewers, based in Sherman, Texas, has built a reputation for crafting approachable and flavorful beers, and their Cerveza Por Favor Mexican-style lager is no exception. This beer is a solid entry into the growing category of beer, offering a refreshing and easy-drinking experience that’s perfect for warm weather or casual gatherings.
Tasting Notes
Pouring a pale golden hue with a crisp, white head that dissipates quickly, Cerveza Por Favor greets the nose with subtle aromas of sweet corn, fresh bread, and a hint of floral hops. On the palate, it’s light-bodied and clean, with flavors of mild malt sweetness, a touch of grain, and a faint citrusy note. The finish is dry and slightly crisp, with just enough bitterness to balance the malt profile without overwhelming the senses. At 4.8% ABV, it’s sessionable and refreshing, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a straight forward, no-frills lager.
What Stands Out
What sets Cerveza Por Favor apart is its simplicity and execution. While it doesn’t aim to reinvent the wheel, it delivers exactly what it promises…a well crafted, easy-drinking lager that pairs beautifully with tacos, grilled meats, or a sunny afternoon by the pool. The brewery’s attention to balance and drinkability is evident, and the beer avoids the pitfalls of being overly sweet or watery, which can sometimes plague the style.
Room for Improvement
Cerveza Por Favor doesn’t necessarily stand out in a crowded field of Mexican-style lagers. While it’s a solid offering, it lacks the distinctive character or bold flavors that might make it memorable compared to some of its competitors. For those seeking a more complex or unique lager experience, this might feel a bit too safe.
