It is Mexican beer, better than Bud but fairly unimpressive. Not very heavy, would wash down the peppers well though. Good for boiling sausages though.

Aroma is a pale malt. Taste is a grainy yet sweet malt. Overall just another bland lager.

Dark yellow beer that smells like straw, grains and earth. Overly sweet with a flush finish and no detectable hops. Light body - thoroughly insubstantial.

12 oz bottle. Rated this at Rancho Viejo in Hayden last night. Pours clear gold with a quickly diminishing white head. Looks completely flat halfway through the glass. Aroma is corny, metallic, a little vomit. Taste is sweet--sweeter than most pale lagers. Taste is crisp and clean. Body is very thin, carbonation is average. Although the aroma, appearance, and palate of this beer are way subpar, the flavor is much better than most cervezas, or any pale lager for that matter.

Served at the Hong Kong brewpub chilled in the bottle, with a lime. Has a slight grains aroma overpowered by the lime naturally. It looks yellow. Flavour is weak corn and grain, and the lime doesn’t save it this time. Palate is slightened thickened by all the adjuncts in it. I was told that this was a Corona impersonation, and it’s a bad one, which makes it a very bad beer overall!

12 oz Bottle at our local Mexican restarunt, Pours a deep yellow color with a big head that fades. Has a stale grain aroma. Clean and a bit crisp. Generic bland taste. Has a smooth feel & goes down easy if ice cold. There are better Mexican beers but this one went well with the with mexican food that we had.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow with white head. Aroma is rice or corn. Light malt presence. Not sweet but sort of bitter. Refreshing and boring. Watery texture. Perfect for a super hot day.

Light golden with a nice short-lived head and good lacing that slides back into the brew. I know this is poorly received by most, but on a hot day, while eating Mexican, it drinls as easily as any good hot-weather brew should. Mostly sweet malt with a tiny bit of bitter in the middle, finishing with a pleasant sweetness.
