Port Royal Export

Port Royal Export is a premium lager beer, introduced in 1983 by Cervecería Hondureña of Honduras, with the intention of making it a beer for the North American market. Currently an SABMiller brand, it is expected to be shifted to Anheuser-Busch/InBev ownership by the close of 2016.

Port Royal, at 4.9% alcohol, emphasizes mildness and drinkablility, two attributes associated with tropical lagers. It is rated 2 of 5 sugar cubes in sweetness and only 1 of 5 hop cones in the bitterness estimation.

Port Royal is typically found in beer outlets who cater to the Central American immigrant market and is priced in the above premium range (similar to Corona Extra). I have sampled this beer and would recommend that others give this delightful mild lager a tasting.

Port Royal is available in 12-oz. cans and bottles and in 21-oz. bottles.
