1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Sampled two of these from the bottle in a bar in San Juan, Puerto Rico, after being coerced by the convincning bartender. The color is a clear gold with a fairly good-sized foamy white head with decent retention. The aroma was not unique; mostly some light hops, a bit grainy, without much malt notes. Flavor was solid, but not too interesting, mostly bitter with mild sourness and very little, if any, sweetness. Not bad on the palate, some light liveliness and fairly smooth and very drinkable, especially when in the islands.

FLAT! WATERY. pretty bad, had it in miami, should have saved my money. Worse than Corona.
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bought from a house in a lightly poorer area of Honduras. Somehow they managed to freeze the inside on one of them. Has a mostly translucent yellow pour with a thin white head. I was worried because it appears very similar to Corona Extra. However I was pleasantly surprised with a slightly sweet corn flavor. It has a slightly heavier body than the average Pale Lager I have tried, but not by much.

Slight skunk. Light body. Corn like aroma and flavor. "Lawnmower beer".
