When ever I think of Mexico, I think of big hats, big moustaches, Bandits and crap beer. You can blame Hollywood and the American film industry for the first three and Corona for the last stereotyping. Yet here I am about to review the beer that gave Mexico a bad name. The first ’designer’ foreign beer that was advertised all over the place to hit Great Britain (I believe). This bottle was left at my house by someone who came to my daughters Birthday party, I would never have paid for it. I poured the beer into one of my Duvel glasses, I wanted to give the beer a chance. To be fair it looked like a Duvel except the head fell away very swiftly. A little lighter than a Duvel really, very pale and crystal clear too. I give all lager/pilsners a score of 3 unless there is something bad or good about them. This is as odourless as most, but with a stale bread aroma hanging around. Insipid and tasteless, nothing to report. Fizzy water comes to mind when considering the mouthfeel. Glad I didn’t buy this beer.

Pours, smells and tastes just how you’d expect from Corona...piss-stained fizz, clear, representing bland watery malt extract flavor and retired yeasts. Still, goes down smooth and at a party where this is the only thing to drink, there could indeed be worse.

Very refreshing yellow water like beer, close to Miller. Good drink when it’s hot outside.

En helt obegriplig klassiker i samma kategori som Tomas Ledin. Det vill säga; innehållslös, urvattnad och något som bara dyker upp när termometern masar sig över 20 plusgrader.

Very flat taste with suspect notes. Hence a lime should be included to increase sweetness it should have had in the first place and to dull the bad taste

Bottle. Pale and bland. A good lawnmower beer. It’s like having sex in a canoe- f****** close too water.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale gold with minimal white head. Aroma of straw and light citrus. Taste is light bitter. Straw. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, its crap vut ive had worse.

Easily my favorite beer in the world on a hot day. lots of lime and ice cold. good when outside and swimming.

If you like something that looks like a beer but tastes like a kind of soft drink.. .Then this is your drink! Ok, apart from that.... It lacks of body, aroma, head, character... Still, it’s very soft, no bad alcohol taste and very refreshing in a warm summer day. That’s why I’m giving it a 2.

Bottle at bar. Golden color, white head. Smooth taste with corn and some malts. It's a good refreshment, but not much of a beer.
