Cerveza Toña by Compañía Cervecera de Nicaragua was evaluated as an International Pale Lager per the 2021 BJCP Style Guidelines (2A).
The beer pours a brilliantly clear yellowish light gold with a large white head of tiny bubbles. The head dissipates fairly slowly; swirling brings back a few bubbles. An aroma of light grainy bread notes and just a hint of corn start things off, with a low floral note filling in. The first taste has light corn notes that balance out with a light grainy character, supporting a light floral hop character with hints of black pepper. Bittering is quite low with just a slight hint. The body is light with a short grainy and corny finish. Overall, a good match for the style specifications and quite pleasant to drink. I would pair this beer with a nice spicy chorizo omelet with sauteed caramelized onions and some cold freshly diced tomatoes as a temperature contrast.
