Sunday Night Suds - New Belgium Mural Agua Fresca Cerveza - Mexican Orange

This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at New Belgium/Mural's Agua Fresca Cerveza - Mexican Orange.

Last year New Belgium began a partnership with Mexico’s premier craft brewery, Cervecería Primus and produced an Agua Fresca Cerveza in the style of Watermelon-Lime (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2019/06/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-mural.html). Although the 2019 version was introduced as a full sized (16 oz) beer as part of the Folly Pack, the 2020 version was repackaged as a lower calorie beer in slim 12 oz cans as part of a special mix pack of Mural beers. Also included in this mix pack are the Mexican Orange and the Berry Guava.

The Mexican Orange was a little more subdued than the Watermelon Lime version of the Agua Fresca Cerveza. There was some orange and mango, but the taste was not as sweet as I was expecting/dreading. This is not a shandy style beer, its just a beer that has some fruit juice without clashing with a lager base. At 110 calories and 4% abv, this beer is light in more than one way, but it was refreshing and not too light.

This beer is only sold in the twelve pack mix box (three of each kind) which was first marketed in March 2020. I was luck enough to find one at the end of the season at the Target in Elmont. I have actually only seen it at Target as I saw it in May at a different Target but was unwilling to plunk down $17 for it when I first saw it.

All of the New Belgium Mural Agua Fresca Cerveza beers are under kosher supervision by the Scroll-K/Va'ad of Denver, and their symbol is on the bottom of the mix box. However, not every brew produced by New Belgium is under kosher supervision, so look for the Scroll K on the six pack holder or box when considering purchasing any NBB product.
