Tasted like watered down corona, and thats not a good thing. There really was no taste and no aroma. very thin mouth. A bad beer.

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

No aroma. Clear light yelliow, no head. Watery with light hints of vanilla.One of the weakest beers I’ve had. Mexico’s answer to Milwaukee’s Best.

Bottle. This is a boring beer that serves its purpose I suppose. Corn aroma and taste, really light and would be a good compliment to cheap tortilla chips and salsa. 4% alcohol.

Has more flavor than corona but not a good flavor. The low % makes it tastes a little more watery than normally but can still taste some corn. Could be something else but im pretty sure thats what make the bad taste.

this is a fairly refreshing Mexican yellow beer if you douse it with some lime juice... otherwise, dont bother

Golden colour. The aroma and palate both show a shocking amount of cideryness, clearly an acetaldehyde issue. Grainy, watery, not much going on, which saves it from being truly offensive, and that’s all I the credit I can give it.

So, my first rating posted (not in order of consumption) while I am here in Chile. And its a Mexican beer! Wow what a red letter day, as opposed to the white letter that this beer purports to be. You know, I had a premonition about this one so I bought it along with a litre bottle of Paulaner lager. This was in anticipation of an expected drainpour and I was spot on. As pale as you can get with the obligatory ammonia bleached head. The nose is a bit ammoniac and vegie soup rolled into one. As is the flavour if it can indeed be found. Along with this was a poor taste of grain and corn adjuncts. No genuine hop presence is detected and a bitter thinness in aftertaste ensues at the end. In all this is a can of evil which should make it a diablo rojo.

12 oz bottle at my local Mexican place. Straw color with a thin white head. Sweet, corny malt nose, some wet cardboard notes. Sickly sweet corn and malt mess of a flavor. I actually used to think this was good with Mexican food; I realize now it’s more like what I expel after eating said food. Blech. If I hadn’t paid $3 for it with my dinner, it’d be a drain pour.

Bottle. Aroma is pure corn. Pale clear golden pour with a short white head. Lightly bitter, lightly sweet taste, slightly vegetal (boiled, blech!). Medium-light body, overly crisp at first, overly flat at the end. Dirty. Narsty.
