Deep gold with a good two finger white head. Very modest lacings. Aroma is corny, copper. Taste is corny, sweet, and slightly bitter finish. Perfect US macro clone. Easy drinker, mild carbonation, slightly sweet finish. Would be fine with a Mexiacan meal. No bad qualities. Serving type: bottle

JorgeLee (329) - Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 26, 2012
Bottle in Crazy Homies W2. A typical bland Mexican lager, slightly grim malt flavour, corn/rice? Hint of skunk. No hop. Didn’t really want another one.

12oz bottle poured into a tiny hotel-room glass. Pours piss yellow with a half finger of white head. Aroma of grains and skunk. Taste is about the same. Overall, another crappy macro...but it’s still better than Corona.

Refreshing enough lager, although quite ordinary when all is said and done.

From bottle, hard to tell color and foam. Got lime in it, so taste is also hard to tell. Good for drinking in warm climate. (Houston 201201)

12 oz. green bottle. Yellow beer. Surprisingly malty aroma, and surprisingly not skunky considering the green bottle. Taste is pretty simple, very standard for a pale lager. Overall it is clean and decently malty.

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 that just might be better with a lime thrown in.

Patrickctenchi (386) - columbus, Indiana, USA - MAY 11, 2012
Pours a clear light gold, with a tall foamy, white head. Scent is grain, lemon. Taste is cereal, slight citrus, some corn. Very plain, but halfway decent....sips fairly well. Just nothing outstanding about it.

standard Mexican beer. goes good with lime. recommend drinking after downing some margaritas so you don’t taste it.
