12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquor - Pours a clear golden color with a one finger thick white head. Light spotty lacing. Lively carbonation with tiny bubbles. Aroma is light grain and soap. Flavor is light sweet grain and bread. Fairly smooth palate. Light to medium body. Not the best beer, but I’ve had worse. Wortha try.

Well, my bottle didn’t come with the gold foil! A beer that is a little more than a pale lager. The first taste is quite impressionalbe and asperite. An industrial bitterness that reminds me of King lager. The rudimentary metal hints are not quite as bad ad King and the aftertaste seems to fade rapidly. Each sip is just a little acrid. More than a Sol or other mexican beers, is not quite as laid back. Typical pale yellow lager appearance and head. That malt liquor impact becomes more palatable with each sip. The 4% belies the actual alky flavor impact. Not much in the aroma category, just seems clean. Many cheaper american pale lagers outperform this brew and are cheaper.

12 oz bottle. Pours a light amber Color with little head. No lacing. Significant yeast aroma. Flavor was smooth with some malt, a little hops, and some corn.. Finish was of the typical thin and watery variety. Altogether, it’s okay for what it is supposed to be, a smooth Mexican lager.

almosi (280) - Viña del Mar, CHILE - APR 23, 2007
in can, 340 ml. Light yellow, very clear. The head is small, gaseous and white, practically without cord. The aroma is lightly malty, with many yeast (this is the flour of the bread). Bitter, with an end lightly sweet. The texture is watery and light. I believe that it is the worst Mexican lager beer.

Bottle. Very little aroma, kind of like sparkling water. Flavor is not much better, but it is easy drinking. Typical dry lager.
