Description
Con el sol en los ojos, no veíamos bien, pero tú estas más cerca de él en este momento que la mayoría de la gente tendrá la suerte de estar.
Wait, sorry about that.
The sun was in our eyes and we did not get a good look, but you are closer to him right now than most will ever have the good fortune to be.
Who is El Sully? Grab a can of this Mexican-Style lager, head to the nearest beach, even if it’s imagined, and perhaps he’ll come to you.
El Sully (the beer) is available this Fall inside our new 12-can variety pack. El Sully (the legend) is a little harder to find.

A lingering sulfur aroma greets the drinker initially, but eventually it fades to allow a light grainy maltiness and floral hop aroma to shine through. The flavor follows the aroma with a grainy, bready malt character balanced by a fresh, floral hop flavor. The smooth hop bitterness lingers into the aftertaste, helping to dry out a complementary residual sweetness that develops mid-palate. The beer pours a light gold color with a low white head that is inviting to the drinker. This is a very smooth and well-brewed International Pale Lager that is sure to please a wide range of beer enthusiasts.
