Bottle. Brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is berries, malt, caramel, fruit. Flavour is fruit, caramel, berries, malt, floral. Thin body. Boring beer.

Mild aroma and thin amber orange pour leads to a minimal but satisfying taste that is dry on the palate. Easy drinking beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap. Pours clear amber with a small off-white head that dissipates quickly with some lacing. Aroma is malty, grainy, some slight sweetness. Flavor is roasted malts, grain, with a very light bitterness. Watery, but crisp with a clean finish. Better than the malignment here would indicate. Entirely average from my perspective, which makes it a drinkable alternative to any mass produced pale lager.

12 oz. bottle. Party rate. Darkish lager color. Small brown head. Aroma has some mild sweetness but is overall quite muted. Taste has a decent amount of the same sweet, caramel malt that was in the nose. Simple, sweet, and sessionable. For a supermarket Mexican macro, it could be a lot worse.

12 oz bottle from the Mexican Beers sampler case. Had it straight without any lime enhancements just to see if it had any virtues on its own. None were found other than to say it is an average lighter beer with some red coloring added to make it seem more exotic.

Pours amber and clear with a small white head. Nose is sweet sugary candy nose, no bitter hop notes to be had. Flavor is Completely sweet with a tinge of bitter but it’s offputting, not good at all. Mouthfeel is dull, no aftertaste and a light body. Bleh.

Backlog Mexico january 2011, several tastings, best fresh from tap in Playa del Carmen. (often stale on bottles outside Mexico) AMber color, good foam Fruity aromas and some sweetness Medium body & complexity Good standard industrial in Mexico

Pours amber with no head. Minimal aroma of caramel malt. Metallic flavor with caramel and grain.

Its a beer that u find at a lot of mexican resturants. Not the biggest fan... light mouth feel.

Clear, chestnut with a tall off-white head. Scent is faint grain and metal. Taste is slight caramel, weak and watery. Drinkable, but dull and lifeless.
