In the old days, I used to think this was one of the better tasting Mexican lagers. Bland, faint aroma with hints of amonia. Small, white head; fully diminishing. Particalia visible...in a Mexican lager?!? Good malt flavor with some crispness. However, I detect a hint of oxidation; the age of this brew is now in question. Some hops in the finish. Not bad but the particalia is throwing me off. At 6% ABV, packs a punch for a pale lager.

It is Mexican beer, better than Bud but fairly unimpressive. Not very heavy, would wash down the peppers well though. Good for boiling sausages though.

Not much going on with this beer that's for sure. It lacks character and it was boring to drink and rate.Its appearance was that of a medium white creamy head that contained fine-small sized bubbles that quickly dissipated.The body was clear and uncarbonated with a golden hue.The nose was malty as was the flavor.The mouthfeel was medium bodied and this beer's lacing was fair.

Typical corniness story-doesnt have the nice bready, funky wheat flavor most mexican or south american pale lagers have. this just tastes like dusty us macro. ive heard good things about this but either i got an old batch or the stories were wrong. sweet corn all around with watery palate. the 6% is hard to believe too.

Pours golden with a thin white head. Aroma of light sweet malt, corn, and a little hops. Flavor is much the same,

Bottle: What can I say about this? It pours a golden ale color with a foamy white head, tastes like corn and grain, and has a typical pale lager finish. Certainly nothing worth seeking out.

Bottled. No odor detected. It was ever so bland like many other lagers, but it had a weird blood aftertaste. Not a good beer.
