Ægir Taco Fredag Mexican Lager - 20L Fresh Wort Kit

Ægir Taco Fredag Mexican Lager - 20L Fresh Wort Kit

Ægir Taco Fredag from Ægir Bryggeri is a fresh, easy-drinking Mexican lager, brewed with carefully selected malts and hops for a pale, golden beer with a clean malt character, fresh hop aroma and balanced bitterness.

On the palate you get mild notes of fresh bread, pale malt and a hint of biscuit, balanced by fruity, slightly citrusy hop notes. The moderate bitterness adds freshness without dominating, while the light malt body and dry finish make it both flavourful and easy to drink.

This is a Mexican lager developed with food in mind, especially tacos. The fresh, balanced flavour goes well with spices, chilli, salsa and hearty Tex-Mex dishes, and the beer is refreshing enough to enjoy on its own. Recommended serving temperature is 4–6 °C.

With this 20-litre fresh wort kit you get professional wort brewed by Amundsen Bryggeri, 100% ready to ferment, so you can make a high-quality beer without mashing and boiling. The wort is carefully water-adjusted, and you should not add water.

Do I need cooling to ferment the beer?

Yes, this is a lager that should ferment at 12–14 °C for 21 days. A fermentation chamber such as the Fercubator makes it easy to hold a stable temperature.

What is the difference between a fresh wort kit and an extract kit?
