I’m still looking for a Mexican beer that’ll blow me away. This stuff if the usually watery beer that does very little for your taste buds. It could be refreshing on a hot day though.

On tap at a Mexican restaurant. This one is better than the XX Special Lager.

maekchu (1093) - Hirakata, JAPAN - MAR 22, 2013
Bottle from local Yamaya. Strong caramel, toffee, slightly vinous aroma. Dark brown, brandy color. Light, somewhat refined, corn/cardboard initial / then goes flat and flavors disintegrate into something messy and chemical. Thin body. Decent aroma, pretty lousy flavors. No mas!

Amber color. Tastes a little sweet but not bad. Actually one of my favorite Mexican beers. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

12 ounce bottle drank straight from it flavors were light caramel, malt, and some grassy hops. Ok beer on the beach, got better with lime added to it.

On draft at random Mexican restaurant. This isn’t offensive but nothing that I would seek on a regular basis. Not quite so terrible but nothing that makes me want to vomit.

This isn’t a beer to dismiss.... as it’s commonly on tap at Mexican restaurants. On the whole it’s more flavorful than the pale lagers, and has a nice clean finish. World class, no.... bad beer... certainly not. Although not deserving of outstanding rave reviews, I would not turn it down.

Bottle, minimum aroma. Little head. Amber beer. Great with Mexican food but nothing special here. I prefer the special lager with a lime to this... watery

On tap. Mild fruit aroma. Clean finish. Not a terrible darker option for a hot day ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
