Light golden yellow color, med white head. I smell hay, grain and white bread. I also taste the same with light malt and a crisp finish. I bet with great with spicy food. I like it.

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.

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.

Cinco me Mayo goodness. Fairly good. Seems like a Czech pilsner like style to me.

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).

Caytinator (576) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - MAY 3, 2013
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.

HeistAlmighty (812) - Saint John, New Brunswick, CANADA - MAY 3, 2013
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.

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.

Bottle. Slightly sweet corn malt aroma. Hazed yellow with a small white head. Light malty flavor. Light body, moderate carbonation.

fattybladdy (193) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - APR 19, 2013
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.
