Where is the hops? Appearance is light yellow. Head is minimal. The taste is very light almost like carbonated water. It does have alcohol so I did give automatic .75 as a mandatory baseline judgement.

Pours a pale yellow with very little, soapy head. Nose is slightly skunky and grainy. Mouth has a wet paper taste, with a slight sweetness and malt note. Good on a hot day behind the grill.

J’ai dégusté cette bière antérieurement (queque part entre 1999 et 2013). J’utilise ce site également à des fins d’inventaire de ma collection de bouteilles. La note accordée est de 2.5 par défaut mais changera lorsque je boirai à nouveau cette bière.

Not a strong aroma like I expected ... Has an average flavor... A good beer to have on stock with the rest of your common labels. ---cdeutz

This light yellow beer has a typical lager aroma. It has a very mild flavor typical to a mass produced lager. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Skunky smell. Sweet wet cardboard taste. Nasty lager aftertaste. Not goos at all.

this beer along with asahi is a very smooth beer and should be recognised as one of the best beers out there.....smoothness and palate are both qualities i look for in a beer and by far is my favourite.

VincentDamon (155) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 5, 2013
Vraiment une bonne petite bière d’été à boire sur le bord de la piscine, avec une tranche de citron à l’intérieur. Ma bière mexicaine préférée à ce jour. Comparable certes à la Corona et à la Sol, mais avec un goût un peu plus intéressant à mon avis.
