3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Bottle from Bohemia, Brighton. Ah yes, Mexico - that famous Bohemian region. Geography epic fail aside, this isn’t bad: it’s a very pale, honey-like colour. Sweet, fruity aroma of oranges and lemons. Smooth mouthfeel. Taste is at first bitter, becoming bitter-er but this settled down after a few slugs*. Pleasant but lacking any depth of flavour - just crisp, bittersweet citrus water. *No slugs were harmed whilst reviewing this beer.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle... There’s a right place and time for this beer. When hitting up some nice Mexican food during a recent Seattle trip this hit the spot. It’s clean and drinkable either from the bottle or a glass. Grainy and floral and bright on the palate. Sometime a beer snob just needs to lower their nose and enjoy something like this. Like I said, right place and right time.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Typical pale lager appearance: yellow with small head. Grainy aroma with some sweet malts. Flavor follows suit. Palate sure is watery, but other than that, it has some nice character for the style - even a bit of hops to balance out things. Sure beats the Carta Blanca I had earlier today.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle from MGM, pale golden color. Has a bit of sweet malt aroma, taste of malt and grain.

Cinco me Mayo goodness. Fairly good. Seems like a Czech pilsner like style to me.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
straw golden, short lasting white head, no lacing.
aroma and flavor = grainy with plenty of DMS... light hoppiness is way background... a bit of bitterness up front.
still pretty drinkable... Doubt I would buy again except when drinking with work buddies and making fajitas (again).
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle. Good with food!! Drank from a bottle, so can’t comment on appearance or aroma. Light but tasty, not too heavy. Good linger and aftertaste. Good from the bottle.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
355ml bottle a the T.G.I. Fridays in the Cancun airport. Poured in a glass, clear gold colour, small white head. Aroma was a touch sour/sweet skunk, hay and herbal hops. Taste was pretty much the same, surprised to get any bitterness from a cervesa style beer. Overall, not a bad choice.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
From bottle. Light gold with some fizzy white head. Nose has some corn, very light malt and a little skunk. Fizzy mouthfeel. Taste is bright and clean with a bit of old meat in the finish. Not for me.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Slightly sweet corn malt aroma. Hazed yellow with a small white head. Light malty flavor. Light body, moderate carbonation.
3.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle, pours a hazy golden with minimal head. Smells extremely sour...not sure what is up with that, but I really dig it. Then comes the taste, fairly bland, at least compared to the aroma. Hay and grain, with a touch of sourness, really not bad for the style actually. Overall better than expected, I’d put it ahead of most Mexican lagers.
