2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle in Cancun.... pours translucent straw with a fizzy head that slowly diminishes to a thin ring, leaving light sudsy lace. Semi-hoppy nose, with some weak citrus and floral notes. There is a hop essence from start to finish, and it’s hard to pick anything else up, due to such a weak body (makes the brew very hard to hold any true discernible, substantive flavors). Clean, crisp hop finish. The palate is thin and watery, but compared to most Mexican beers, this one is somewhat refreshing, and goes down well on a hot summer’s day.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Typical pale straw gold color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is faint grains and corn. Flavor is actually not too bad. Grainy, low on the awful corn syrup flavor that most pale lagers have, might even be a touch of hops with a light fruity note. Thin and refreshing, definitely the best choice if you’re at a taqueria.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are hops, malt and straw. Nice bitter finish.

Actually scores points in the palate region - nice dry flavor that eludes most pale lagers. Notes of straw. Gold - lagerish.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Very light color. Spritzy. Very light flavor with a touch of hoppy aromas. Nothing special but a decent beer to refresh on hot summer nights.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Pours a very light yellow with an almost greenish tint. Just a small head at first that recedes to none at all. Flavor is decent for what it is, mostly a grainy flavor, but not a sweet corn bomb like some other lagers, fortunately. Mouthfeel is watery, boring, little carbonation in the finish. Overall, fair.
