Bottle. Pours a light golden pale head. Typical pale lager from Mexico. Dont think i will drink again.

One of the better mexican beers, but it IS still a mexican beer, so nothing can help that.

very very Bland, no smell nor taste, no head but smooth and easy to drink, good summer beer.

Cheap beer from Mexico. I buy over a miller or bud taste better. Nothing to write home about

One of the better Mexican lagers. Much better than Corona. Simple, refreshing hot weather beer. Crispness makes it good with anything spicy. Good beer to wash down carne asada and spicy salsa.

Had two cold bottles of this at a border town across from Big Bend National park along with a big plate of tacos. In January the temperature was in the 80s and the first drink was heavenly. The rest was pretty good. It might have had a head, but it was inside the bottle and didn’t last very long because I drank it, too. I was too busy wrapping my lips around the bottle to stick my nose in it to give it a smell but I do recall smelling beer so it gets a 7.

drank out of a bottle. not a particularly bad beer, but you won’t remember it either. i am glad they stock your fridge full of modelo in cancun, because i don’t think i would have had as much fun if this was around everyday!

i’v had Carta Blanca mucho times on various occasions through the years and have usually found it a tasty compliment w/mexican fare and sometimes, one will come across a skunked one or few; nevertheless, and overall, the beer has been good with the food and the friends and it’s usual taste has been invitingly good, consistant and assuring during enduring the hot days. no lime, no lemon, no salt, por favor; just Carta Blanca, please.

Sample - 12 oz bottle. Had this recently at a local Mexican restaurant. Had to try it because it was the only beer on the menu that I had never tried before. While I was not impressed by the label on the bottle (basically take a Schaefer label, and put a different name on it), it wasn't all that bad. Poured the typical golden lager color. Some head, but nothing to write home about. Looked to be highly carbonated, but upon drinking it wasn't so much. The beer went down very smooth and was surprisingly flavorful and robust for a Am.Std. However, it did have slightly rancid aftertaste that I didn't care for. Was it better that 90% of other Mexican brews? Yes. Would I go out of my way to try it again - No way. Basically, I can get the same thing domestically, just it will be labeled Strohs, and will be significantly cheaper.

sucks but is very cheap, and it gets you really drunk .... but thats it , ohh and dont get any sun with this beer it will get you crazy
