Not the sexiest of driving maneuvers, but considered safer than oversteer where the back end goes sliding around and you end up facing the wrong way in traffic. It took Porsche engineers 25 years to dial in some understeer in the 911. Like its big brother Oversteer, but lighter, dry, easy drinking. Big tropical nose, hints of pine and stone fruits.

MotoSonora Prototipo #2
American Wheat Beer5.5% ABV
MotoSonora Brewing Co.Tucson, AZ
The second beer in our Prototipo series, the base of this beer uses a lot of wheat balanced by two row and light munich malts, lending both orange hues and subtle, pleasant notes of biscuit. it has relatively low perceptive bitterness but a fair amount of pine and citrus hop aroma, via cascade hops. the reason this beer has a 'prototipo' distinction is because we were experimenting with a different wheat ale yeast than we've used before - in this case, the yeast provided a fair amount of spice and phenol, which may read as clove or banana or licorice. We hope you like it as much as we do and if it sticks around, you can help us name it!
