The Budweiser of Mexico! Nothing great about this beer, except that someone gave it to me free. At least it wasn’t skunky.

Nothing special in this beer, just the classic lager flavor, not bad not good.

Drank straight from the bottle, after discarding the lime provided. Very little flavor, drowned out by the meal; akin to soda. Mostly carbonation.

Pours a macro yellow. Typical macro beer. Light body with little malt and hop flavor. Better than some, but nothing special.

Bottle, pours a golden-yellow color and smells of grain, grasses and perhaps some citrus. Flavor is fairly mild and watery with a sweet, grain and citrus flavor. Finish is slightly bitter, yet pleasant tasting. Drank this at a birthday BBQ and it really hit the spot, though if you’re looking for complexity, look elsewhere.
