Bottle. Pours clear yellow, white head. Aroma is malt, ketchup, hops. Flavor is the same. Pretty gross.

Appearance: Pale gold, clear, wet white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma: Faint with corn, toast, and a surprising hint of hops. Flavor: Not as corny as most macro lagers, but still nothing "especial." Toasty, mealy malt with some adjunct character. Palate: Fizzy and burpy and thin. Par for the macro course.

This is an OK beer. Light pale ale in color... I drank it out of the bottle. It has a slight tingly palate. It has a pretty good flavor sort of a corona/heineken mix. Will have again, but certainly not a favorite.

Watery and corny. A clear yellow pour with little to no head. Is better than corona but still lacks a lot.

...bottle, can. Bottle is obviously better. Well, not much to say abou this. Clear yellow, no head. Flavors of corn, and maybe a touch of malt, but not much. Smooth, easy drinking, beter than most mexibrews.

Bottle. Pours a nice clear golden color with a thin, soapy, white head. Has a nice aroma of malt and corn. Taste is much the same, except it is a little watery. Though it is overpriced, it is a pretty nice beer, that is refreshing and easy to enjoy, especially on a hot day. Overall, this is one of the better Mexican beers. Also, the bottle is pretty neat looking and unique.

Bottle. This is a typical mexican beer. However, it is better then most mexican beers. Pours a straw yellow with almost no head. Smelled of corn and malts. This is a very drinkable beer. It is also good to drink on a hot summer day. Smooth

This beer smells, looks and tastes absolutely awful. I got a free sample bottle where I work and I ended up pouring it out because I could NOT drink it.
