Randolph Beer Cheap Sunglasses Mexican-Style Lager Review
Cheap Sunglasses pours clear, glistening, and gold, with a sulfuric note reminiscent of Corona. The aroma makes way for floral noble hops, cornbread, and citrus on the palate, followed by a lovely lingering nutty flavor on the finish. This lager has so much flavor for something so light and refreshing. Carbonation is bright and bubbly like a sparkling wine. We’re always on the lookout for American-takes-on-Mexican lagers, and in the humid heat of summer 2020, when this lager found its way to us, it was immediately memorable.
