El Toro

El Toro Wine Details
Price:

Description: We break craft beer convention by unabashedly brewing beer with corn. El Toro is a lager-like classic cream ale — yet another American original. This easy-drinking “beer beer” is brewed with malted barley, hops, yeast, water…and North Carolina corn grits. More than 15% of the base fermentables come from North Carolina corn.

Varietal Definition
Ale:
Ale is beer that is brewed using only top-fermenting yeasts, and is typically fermented at higher temperatures than lager beer (15–23°C, 60–75°F). At these temperatures, ale yeasts produce significant amounts of esters and other secondary flavours and aromas, often resembling those of apple, pear, pineapple, grass, hay, banana, plum or prune.
