Pretty good Mexican beer. Light colored topped with a thin head. Pretty good mouthfeel and flavor to this. Slightly hoppy with some citris notes in there and smooth all the way through. Easy to drink a lot of these. I suppose it could use a little more flavor, there wasn’t a whole lot of it. But there weren’t any characteristics that I felt were poor either. I’d get it again.

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)

Rating #36 for 2012 Very common macro lager. Aroma of grain some hops light bitterness. Yellow color no head spotty lacing. Watery grainy slight bitter taste.

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.

Backlog Mexico january 2011 Available everywhere in Mexico, best on tap Golden color Light body & complexity Ok industrial

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.
