Pale straw yellow color with a moderate, fluffy, dissipating white head. Grainy, husky aromas. Hint of stale dry herbs and touch of Murphy’s oil soap. Chalky, husky grain flavors. Reminds me of corn dust during harvesting. Dry, light and fizzy. A very light beer with a touch of quinine.

Backlog Mexico january 2011 Bought/tasted at combined bar/shop The Beer Box in Playa del Carmen, tasted on bottle. Light golden color Light body & complexity Typical industrial pale lager

330mL bottle poured pale straw color with about 1 finger of white head settling slowly to sporadic lacing. Aroma is of hay and some hops. Taste is initially mildly hoppy and decent, although an undesirable quality comes through in the finish. As a result this is not a great lager.

Bottle. Amber with a white head. Light scent, perhaps corn. LIght and inoffensive. A bit of grain. As you drink there is an off flavour that emerges dropping the score and the experience with each sip.

12 oz bottle, out of a "summer beers" mix pack someone bought me. Lets face it folks, if you are rating this, you probably didn’t drink it out of a tulip glass, or share it at some super secret beer nerd tasting. No, you probably drank this in a drunken rage in Tijuana or Mexicali as a chaser to the tequila popper you just threw down. Who knows, maybe you drank this off the nipple of a gal who works at Bambi’s as I once did. . . I digress - This beer is shite, and you should be expecting no more, no less. It serves only as a chaser to bad tequila. You could say it’s the fuel, the tipping point from a good night to a bad night; one in which you will undoubtedly be stuffed in the back of Tijuana "Policia" car for peeing in the street. Naturally, you will be forced to give up your last $20 and will have to walk home, through the ghetto of Tijuana. You will ultimately jump over the border fence, successfully, and call your best friend to pick you, asap. This is a true story.

Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt and hops. The flavor is sweet with nots of straw and malt. The body is light.

Clear golden with a medium white head. Sweet fruity aroma with malty notes. Flavour was sweet with malty notes and grassy hops that gave it a bitter finish.

Bottle, 3.9%. Clear yellow colour. Mild flavour, hint of citrus. Quite clean, and does not really taste watery. Not bad for ABV.

Bottle. Hazy golden colour with medium creamy white mostly diminishing head. Malty aroma. Sweet flavor. Watery palate.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent typically carbonated yellow-orange colored body and a fair lacing. The weak aroma was malt hop. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The smooth flavor contained notes of malt and soft clean hops. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again. A pretty decent Mexican brew with none of the typical grass or astringency.

Bottle 33cl.
