Picked up a blue bottle batch 00101 in a grocery store on Revelucion in Tijuana. The previous rater says "Lot 102" so I don’t know how fresh this is. Starts out with a light head. Stays with a lasting skiff. Aroma of vegetables at first then a malty mix of molasses and caramel and a hint of charcoal. Very dark brown. Flavour starts off really bad, almost morning after bad. Some kind of egg and vegetable flavour at first. If you get past that then some sweet prune and cocoa come through. Thin body. Light burnt cocoa finish.

At least the bottle and label were alright, the bottle being a nicely embossed blue (and weighty!). All downhill from there, pouring a frothy tan head of rather short endurance. The body was dark, really dark, but the aroma left much to be desired. The smell and I do mean smell was a regrettable combination of malt and something else. Not encouraging as to what the taste might hold. I was not disappointed, as my mouth was assailed by a most unpleasant mixture of what might’ve been carob or chicory and god knows what else. The topping on this sh*t cake was the thin, watery mouthfeel. The finish was quite unbeerlike. Easily one of the worst beers I’ve ever been subjected to.

Blue bottle. Dark, malty, and an interesting aroma of coffee and malt. Tastes quite malty and well, the best way to describe it is unique. Not wonderful, but defiantly not bad. Found this in a little shop while venturing out on the Mexican bus system. One of the more interesting Mexican beers I was able to find throughout my vacation.

Pours brown with a thin light brown head. Smells of vegetables and some sweet makt. Tastes watery and bland with a fruity finish.

355ml bottle purchased at City Market Interlomas, Mexico for $1.65 Nice bottle

Real dark color, aroma of toasted malt, very watery, not bad, but i prefer Cerveza Potro also and mexican porter.

iyak! the color is great! the aroma strange... I look for the prefer date to drink, but no exist... the flavor was baAaAad, i think maybe this bottle was old and out of date... i hope the next time in the super market i have moore lucky to taste a new one.

Very roasty aroma. The beer is much thinner than the aroma in a way disappointing. It’s almost watery. Cool bottle though.

i like this beer, only once ive tasteed it but i ilke it, and also the blue bottle, good election

Blue Bottle: Toasted malts, a bit too sweet but overall quite decent. Smokey and burnt traces.

Tasted just once at a party in 12 oz. blue bottle, sold separately at Gigante for 14.50 pesos about 1.20 dlls.I tasted straight from the bottle, because there wasnt any glasses or cups around, so i couldnt see the appearance, the aroma was a very awful, but the actual taste was mild, with vegetable flavour and a very organic aftertaste, so at the palate was very pleasent.I think its a beer made for dinner. Worth trying!
