Oh my! You can still get this in America? Sampled during Swig-a-Swill Guzzler in St Paul, MN. Pours a clear straw pale brew with a thin white head that dissipates clean. Aroma of golden grain malt, corn and a touch of skonk. Taste is light bodied, lots of carbonation and flavors of golden grain malt, cornbread, grassy hops and a little skonk roadkill. Finish is watery, a touch of cardboard and then clean cut.

Bottle from Ilovedarkbeer. Pours yellow and cleear with a small white fizz on top. ARoma of cornmeal, grass, margarine and rubber. Taste is just water and cardboard. Fizzy but not too offensive.

Yellow straw color. Nose is corn meal muffin and canvas. Tastes like water and corn.

Not sure why they would bother to import this. Light clear yellow colour, barely any head, very fizzy, watery with barely any taste.

bad. bad. bad. I was on business in mexico and they mix their pale’s with ice, lemon juice, soy and a salted rim on the glass. It actually made the beer taste better.

(Bottled and draught while visiting Monterrey, Mexico in 2005)
Clear golden color, white head. Sweet malty scent and taste. Medium mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Yellow brillant cristal color, no permanent head, a stell aroma, the flavor is very fresh and light, no taste,

Nothing special in this beer, just the classic lager flavor, not bad not good.
