This one of the best Mexican beers. Very refreshing, with a malty, good grain flavor. A little sweet with hints of caramel. I wish it was imported to Texas. I’m not sure why it’s not. Guess they don’t feel they can compete with the mig Mexican exports. But, they really could. It’s good!

Clear amber brew with thin head with no retention, very weak aroma with notes of malt, thin body, refreshing, the flavor has notes of roasted malts, caramel and the caracteristic metalic/plastic notes of CM.

really nice. had this at Don Quintin in Queretaro. wish i could get some here.

not the best in taste buts its cheap and popular with my uncles while getting drunk in the mountains of monterrey. drinnk in the company of fun and loud mexicans and you’ll understand. simple dark lager close to a negra.

Pours a sparkling dark copper color with thin white head. Light malt aromas with hints of caramel. Pleasantly light bodied with good carbonation. Gentle sweet cereal grain taste that gives way to a moderate, well-balanced hop bitterness, and a short, somewhat dry finish. During my high school and college days in the Mexican Bars of Matamoros and Reynosa, Taumalipas, we affectionately called this beer "Apache," and was a favorite of ours. Excellent session beer, try with cabrito asado or a Tampiquena plate (fajitas and enchilas). Un Apache, por favor!

Poors white head, aroma is sweet malt and caramel with a little hints of chocolate and flowers but it is very weak. Color is dark amber. Taste is a bit sweet, lightly bitter. Body is quite light, wattery finish.

In my opinion the best of the commercial mexican beers. It has a ligh caramel aroma, an lightly dark amber appereance, and a medium taste. A nice alternative to the usual fare.

A little less malty than Bohemia in my opinion, which makes it more sessionable- but it doesn’t really make that much of a difference. one of the key attractions to this beer is that it is not imported into the US, you have to sample it in Mexico. That said, the lightness of the roast and the decent hops allow it to pair well with mildly flavored dishes like fish tacos, but it is still complex and distinct enough in flavor that you realize you are drinking something that was brewed with good intentions. Definitley my favorite Mexican beer so far, closely follwed by Modelo Especial.

Not good but better than Corona and Victoria. Very light. Slightly acid and smokey.
