2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Dark yellow with a fast, fizzy head. The lime that was added without asking seemed necessary to add any flavor whatsoever (and, served as such, wasn’t that heinous). All we get is lime over light corn notes. A watery substitute for a 7-Up® that helps your spicy meal go down easy.

1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle poured a clear yellow with a diminishing white head. Aromas of cereal and a bit of floral and citrus. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of bread, and a hint of corn and citrus with a crisp, clean finish.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From a 12 oz. distinctive shaped Bohemia brown bottle with no freshness date. Made a nice appearance, poured a clear pale golden with a thin foamy clinging white head that reduced to fine lacing. Had a tasty clean aroma, sweet maltiness and traces of graininess and a mellow spicy, floral hoppiness. Decent carbonation and a slick, smooth light bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. Taste was at first a sweet bready maltiness, followed by a soft graininess and a fruity hoppiness, a gentle bitterness and a nice clean dry finish.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
UPDATED: JAN 27, 2006 The aroma is sweet and malty with a light hopping and basement smells that I can’t figure out. The Appearance is lighter than I expected with a small head. The flavor is nothing special but exceeded my expectation. It’s malty with a light hops character. The palate is thin but it’s better than many of this style. This beer was all about effort, and if that is all it took to make a beer great this one would win a gold medal. Sadly, it’s competing at the Special Olympics.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Unremarkable. Thin, weak flavor with minimal head. Light color, slightly unpleasant aroma, crisp finish. Needs a lime. Perhaps better on a hot day, or a hot beach.

Would not have known that this was a pilsner. Not the best Mexican beer, but not the worst either (see Corona). Drink on Cinco de Mayo.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Clear, golden Pilsener with a miniscule white head. Slight, malty aroma; a very slight hint of bitterness in the aftertaste. I guess I should have added a lime slice to add some sourness since this is a Mexican beer.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a pale golden yellow color. Aromas of malt, grains, grass. Flavor is a dry malt with a good hop balance.
