Pours medium yellow with a thin white head with little lacing. Aroma is faint cereal. Palate is medium light with light malt with slight butter aftertaste that lingers. The big brown bottles are slightly fuller and smoother as are the cans than the clear bottles. The recipes are the same, which may be the result of keeping light away from the beer.

Easy to drink. Always disappears at our parties like nothing else. Not too bitter or sweet.

Nice aroma, best with a lime and must makes a nice summer day even better, may not be most exotic but i love it!

Pours clear and golden with little head that quickly dissipates with a lot of carbonation. Grainy aroma, translates to the taste. Watery mouthfeel, and no aftertaste. I like drinking this out of the bottle with a lime on a summer day, same as most Mexican lagers, but that is because this is not a good beer on it’s own.

Fresh aroma containing lime scent; delivers a summer feeling. Faint taste of mashed potatoes and citrus, but overall very watery. Easy to drink, mysteriously evaporates inside your mouth. A nice thirst quencher.

Picked up 24oz bottle just for fun. You know what, this is actually much better than I would have anticipated. Little skunky...has some pleasant fruity esters. You could do worse with many selections here in the U.S.

Poured into a pils glass. Though I fully acknowledge that this beer is horribly crafted, I find myself craving it a couple times a year. 2.0 A: Clear light yellow color. Fizzy white head fell almost as fast as it formed. 2.0 S: Metallic, skunky, adjuncts, and graininess. Unique in the AAL world. 2.0 T: "Foamy" corn and rice, mild skunk, metal and a light graininess. 2.0 M: Light body. A bit overcarbonated to the point of bity. No creaminess. 2.0 D: Without the lime there is nothing good about this, though this isn’t even close to the worst AAL. Perhaps the only reason I crave this every so often is that I’m craving the lime. I can’t do the review with a lime since that isn’t what the brewer bottled. Oh well.

Bottle at dallys rooftop...lime added...nice crisp light beer to drink on a hit day..

The cleanest finish I know makes this one of the best session beers around. The epitome of summer vacation beer. Light body with simple refreshing taste. Only downside is the vulnerability to being lightstruck, which makes buying a fresh six pack a game of chance. ---Rated via Beer Buddy

Bottling beer in a clear bottle is a death sin, but the guys at Corona have done a helluva marketingh job promoting this beer as "high-class". Watery, and good refreshment, but this is indeed a poor beer.
