OK, one of my cinco de mayo beers. It’s drinkable, a good maltiness with carmel notes but a bit of cardboard flavor to it and not a great aftertaste. eh.

5/5/08 From the bottle. Aroma starts out quite sour but lightens to a malty lager tone, with bits of pils and noble hop aroma coming through. Appearance is light copper with a chunky moderate maintained white head. Flavor is sweet malty with nice bready roast and lightly bittering noble hops. Mouthfeel is light bodied with a slight touch of carb bite. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised, this was as refreshing as other mexican beers, but without the overly dry finish.

Wow, better than I expected. Pours a nice thick head, nice dark amber color. Really smooth and clean, crisp finish.. Mexy restaurant beer of choice.

Nice looking dark amber lager which has a good taste. Ejoyable, very drinkable dark lager.

Pours deep amber, small head, pale malt aroma. Full lager flavor, slightly sweet. Clean finish. Maybe a little bit of corn.

12oz bottle. people give mass props to this beer. it’s basically the Mexican equivalent to Bud in a bottle. struggled through a six-pack at a BBQ, which means it was a pretty tough swill to bear. never again.

Bottle. Nice color, average everything else. If you’ve had it once, then that’s enough.

It is what it is. Pours amber, slight carmel taste. Tastes crisp when fresh. Grab one, grab some summer fare, and go sit outside.
