Maize Dorado – Heirloom Golden Corn Ale

Oooooooeeee, y’all! This newest edition to the line up is a must try for sure! Made with heirloom “nixtamalized” corn provided by our pals at Oro by Nixta in NE MPLS, this burnished-golden hued light ale is uniquely situated to be a pleasant experience for the taste buds!  Built on a base of pale malt, with a hefty dose of the aforementioned nixtamalized heirloom Mexican corn to boot. Touches of pilsner, white wheat, and biscuit malt round out the backbone of the beer. Our favored house ale strain fermented it to a nice medium-dryness. A rounded body is maintained and it keeps the light sweetness and nuanced minerality from the corn intact and lets it shine through wonderfully.  Crisp, clean, and mildly sweet… with a hint freshly-made tortilla on the palate. Come try this dang refreshing libation! And if y’all haven’t been to Oro by Nixta do yourselves a favor and do so in the near future! Gustavo, Kate, and their whole crew are making top-notch food. It’s an excellent experience to enjoy! (Look for another collaborative beer, a corn lager, from our two crews to get on tap there soon as well…)Check out the link below for more info on their stellar establishment. Oh… and get a reservation beforehand, you’ll be glad you did. Cheers!  https://www.nixtampls.com/oro
