Smooth, no nonsense, elegant and will fit in at any occasion. It exhibits a rich, ripe berry and mint bouquet and displays a full flavoured, fleshy, fruit laden palate.

At 4% ABV, this is a great beer to drink while grilling. Victoria is the perfect step up from all the similar-tasting light Mexican lagers made by Grupo Modelo (Mexico's largest brewery) -- think Tecate, Corona, Modelo Especial, Pacifico. Like those in the cerveza clara style, Victoria remains crisp and refreshing, but true to its more amber color (the beer is technically a Vienna lager), it has a little bit of sweetness, too.

Brewed in Mexico since 1865, Victoria is an ultra-premium Vienna-style lager with a rich, amber color and medium body with slight malt sweetness. Mexico's best kept secret has finally arrived.
