Some hoppy notes
Ok, and better then most in Mexico
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
I didn’t really make any notes but it was a pretty average ale. Plenty of flavor when compared to other offerings inmexico but not one I’d ever drink back home. A bit sour but actually had some hop flavour.
2.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle, 355ml. Cucapá’s first and easily worst (along with their light "beer"). Pours a clear golden colour with a poor offwhite head, slightly oranger than your average industrial, but still bad. Aroma is pretty good actually, nice suprising hoppiness and cereal character. Taste is where it starts to melt down, some maltiness and spices but ultimately pretty much worthless. Nasty macro finish. Bad.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle (in NZ). Not too golden, more amber. The palate is a bit thin and metallic, but the malt is not so bad, though perhaps with a touch of diacetyl.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sampled from 12-oz bottle during Dark Lord Day ’09 at table 3, the only table that that had the Latin American Cervezas. Pours a semi-clear golden pale colored brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of golden grain malt, some citrus, corn grits, salt, and a touch of spice. Taste is medium bodied, a tad sour with flavors of golden grain malt, some yeast, a touch of sale and citrus. Finish is semi-dry with some yeast and golden grain malt aftertaste. Definitely not a Belgian style sour, just a golden ale with a touch of sour.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Poured a somewhat murky dull gold with a small to white head. Aroma of musty wheat/bread, yeast, and slightly sweet malt. Flavor of toasted malt, minerals, and yeast; some moderately unpleassant butteriness. Hints of hops. Didn’t like this one too much.

Nice ale, it tstes to me more like an amber rather than a golden. It reminds me the english beers.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours cloudy yellow/gold, with a white head. Aroma is fruit, yeast, and spices. Flavor is fruit, slightly sour, and small bits of hops and spices. Thanks to giarcsr for this bottle.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This blond ale pours a medium orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet. A medium bodied golden ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are mild and slightly spicy. It a fairly typical golden/blond ale, a little sweet tasting and not very hoppy. Decent balance. Nice carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
