I like the dark version of this beer! A smooth Mexican beer brewed in the American Dark Lager style. Yes please!

Bottle. Not bad. Pours an amber color with an off white head. Head diminishes rather quickly. Aroma was faint malts, and caramel. Flavor was corn and malts. Decent for a Mexican beer.

(Bottle at Chiquito, a mexican restaurant in Norwich) Served in the bottle with a lime to be pushed in. I had a swig without lime, found taste was minimal, so shoved the lime in. Couldn’t see its appearance. Aroma was minimal, caramel and corn hints. Taste without lime was a weak watery, slighty maltier than usual lager taste, with a bit of caramel. With the lime it was obviously fruitier - was needed to add a bit of excitement to this beer. Went very well with the mexican food, and was drinkable - I didn’t actively dislike it, but there was absolutely nothing to get excited about.

amber color pour with a small head. Malty flavor with good carbonation. Nice hoppy finish in a lager that is very drinkable, but really noteworthy.

Pours amber with light malty aroma. Flavor is lightly malty, sweet with a little metal.

An aroma that hints of light caramel. A deep copper pour with no head or lace. A flavor that is better than the aroma. A light flavor of malt followed by an even lighter bitter. A tad thin and watery. A beer that was a bit of a surprise. My favorite from them:)

I think the best thing this beer has going for it is its’ clarity. Other than that, it’s amber, sweet, corny, disapating head, goes down like pop.

Better than standard XX. Amber color with small white head. Malty aroma and the flavor, some caramel and of course some corn. Not too much to it. Palate is not too light. Could be a lot worse. Not bad with Mexican food.
