2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 ChainGangGuy (3682) - Canton, Georgia, USA - APR 13, 2008
Appearance: Pours a crystal clear, yellow body with a frothy, white head. Lightly effervescent.
Smell: Grassy, spicy aroma with pale malts and a slight sourness overall. Thankfully, though, no skunking present.
Taste: What tastes like pils malt with a brief, subtle sweetness. A bit soapy, a bit of grass. Spicy hop taste and light bite of bitterness. Some lingering sourness to the crisp finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Lively carbonation.
Drinkability: When surrounded by Mexican lagers, it would be certainly be more desirable than say, a Corona Light. Surely it would go great with Combo #14, 8, and 12 at your local Mexican eatery.

A solid Mexican beer selection. Wrapped in foil, ala champagne, in a short stocky bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Not much to the appearance, or the aroma, a little grainy I guess. The rest is better though. Very smooth, refreshing and light bodied. Semi sweet with a little more flavor than others of the same category. I must say this goes quite well with Mexican food and they are very easy to drink.

UPDATED: JUN 14, 2008 Smells skunky.
Flavor has notes of cirtus fruits up front. Hoppy for a mexican.
Beats corona for sure

The better of Mexican beer. Light golden in color. Small fizzy head that diminishes quickly. Subtle sweetness upon first taste finishing with a hoppy bitterness. The beer claims to have a hint of vanilla that seems to be lacking. Have another? I think I’ll pass.

Decent beer, better to me than many have already stated. It’s a light looking Lager (Pilz), with a weak head, but with a bit more aroma that usual smelling of hops. Taste is decent, a little bitter, in a good way, but with a smooth finish. Leaves a slight malt feelinf in mouth, but with a bit of an off after flavor that is typical of Mexican beers.

I like this beer if I am at a Mexican restaurant and they dont have Modela dark. Pretty decent beer if ice cold and burritos and quesadillas are present.

pale yellow in color. Pours with a 1.5 ich white head lasting only a minute. Pleasant, pure beer aroma of medium strength malt and crisp hops. Balanced crisp malt and hop flavor with no adjunct corn or sugar taste. Adequate carbonation on display. A real clean lager. Nice satisfying feeling left on the palate (room of the mouth) after a few sips.A fine german beer made in mexico.

A tasty beer when you’re looking for something a bit lighter and less malty or hoppy flavor. Great with food or a snack!
