¡HIJOLE! LIMON

The crew at Forbidden Peak Brewery has really extended themselves this time in order to bring you an authentic flavor of fun - Hijole Limon. Hijole Limon is a straw-yellow ale with a bright white head, zesty carbonation, and a light body. The taste is pure and well balanced with an enticing malt and hop taste with a subtle hop aftertaste. The slight whisper of tequila and hint of lime smoothness help round out the body. Hijole finishes with a mild, clean aroma.

There are several "lime" flavored beers coming on the market these days, but none seem to capture the true essence of the fresh lime. Here at Forbidden Peak Brewery we strive to meet perfection. The FPB brewers got together and decided our combination of a crisp lager-inspired ale and fresh lime juice needed a boost - like a slight backdrop of premium silver tequila! After all, tequila and lime go together just as well as a cold cervesa and lime. On extra hot days, Squatch encourages the use of a fresh lime wedge in the beer when drinking.

Hijole Limon translates roughly to "Wow, Lime!" This expression of excitement is a common reaction to the first sip of an ice cold Hijole Limon. The name Hijole Limon was chosen to celebrate our neighbors to the south. Too often when we think of the celebrated brewing cultures around the world we think of the northerners like the Germans, Irish, and Canadians, but leave out our good friends in Mexico. Each year tens of thousands of people from all around the world migrate to Mexico in the spring time to enjoy the quaint, fresh Mexican beer selection.

Squatch has many fond memories of visiting Mexico for a break from the frosty northern springs back in the early days. He enjoyed sitting on the beach, sipping a beer, and splashing in the once crystal clear ocean waters. He hung out with friends, went to his first "Foam Party", rode in the most amazing golf carts he'd even seen, had fantastic fresh lobster & tequila, and discovered that you can pretty much make good beer anywhere in the world. As Squatch gets along in years, he often finds himself daydreaming of the adventures he had in Mexico. Longing for a flavor in beer that could enhance those memories was his goal when he came to the crew at FPB with the concept of Hijole Limon. ¡Mas cervezas por favor!

¡Salud!
