Pours a golden yellow with a white head. This is basically corona in every way even down to the similar bottle. Corny cheap taste with nothing really redeaming.

Yellow with a very thin white head. Extremely light, watery, with a hint of malt but not much else.

Small white head that didn’t last long. Pale, golden hay color - very clear. Very mild yeasty aroma. Flavor is a little bready with a slightly bitter and dry finish. Dull and boring

Bottle to glass mug. Pours a light yellow, clear with virtually no head. Very weak flavors of light citrus, and sweet malts. It’s really watery. The carbonation is very lively.

Pours pale yellow with a white head, grainy sweet aroma. Flavor is lightly sweet very thin and watery.

12 ounce clear glass bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow with an average white head. Faint aroma of corn with some citrus. Tastes of nothing. Bland. Nothing going on at all. Very boring.

Had this bottle a couple years ago. Nothing special. Typical mexican lager. Thin, barely any flavor unless you put a lime in it. Good on a hot day while youre cooking out.

15-May-08 (12-oz bottle: BevMo in La Jolla, CA) A low-budget, Guatelmalan-made "Mexican" beer hoping to appeal to broke Corona drinkers, this crystal-clear, straw-colored offering is sweet, corny and adjuncty. The flavor is thin and gets thinner in the finish, but leaves a bad aftertaste in the mouth. No hop flavor and just a touch of bitterness, but probably not from hops. Light in body and surprisingly light in carbonation too. Cheesy, stinky, funky nose. The white head is about a quarter-inch in height and settles to a partial film, but it has left an irregular patch of lace on the glass. This is just bad cheap beer. If Baja Lager is all you can afford, you’re better off drinking fluorinated city water out of the tap -- it tasted better.

Can’t believe I found this at a local old steel town bar on Main Street in Aliquippa. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager look. Slight off veggie cabage aroma, probably from the clear bottle. Industrial citrus flavor of beer. Typical central american lager flavors. Processed lager finish. Not too bad.

UPDATED: NOV 15, 2007 Bottle from Big Lots!. Pale golden color upon pouring. Sweet corn aroma. Flavor is quite sweet. Kind of weird tasting. Like burnt corn. Pretty crappy.

I got this on clearance and decided to try it at 3.99 a six pack. It was perfect for a bachelor party and that was about it. It was 90 degrees outside so it was refreshing. Was like drinking a Corona.
