Yes, Tijuana beers are awesome, but in this case I've decided to go beyond that with Canadian"Hay Fever" from Parallel 49 brewery. This is a rare beer within the brand, because it usually only comes out in Spring.
I bought it at Calimax and it was such a bargain, for this beauty only cost me $32.00 pesos (2.00/3.00 dlls). You can find this bottle with no refrigeration among others, but this one gets your attention thanks to the famous painting of American Gothic, but from a more grotesque perspective.
The label reads that "Hay Fever" is made with traditional French yeast from one of the most productive craft beer province in Canada: Columbia Britanica.
"Hay Fever" has a really brilliant yellow color, and its smell is "winey", but the aftertaste is definitely citric, just as a sweet grapefruit with a touch of pepper, because is not really that bitter. Although the sips of Saison beers are usually fresh and gentle, this one has a 6.5 proof of alcohol, so you better drink it at your pace.
