This is my favorite Mexican beer(closely followed by Negra Modelo). It reminds me a lot of Newcastle Brown Ale and thought the description here says it’s a Pale Lager, it reminds me much more of a Marzen (Octoberfest type) beer. It has a nice head that leaves a significant lace on the glass - has a malt, cereal, caramel and balanced sweet taste. The color is dark copper and clear. It has a medium body, lightly creamy texture, medium alcohol content, and moderately long finish. Maybe a bit too carbonated.

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.

obama should get a teardrop tattoo .. . Pours a deep tan .. light foam .. . light light malt and dried soiled grass .. . its a madhouse .. . simple, throw out the dark malts and keep it simpler .. .
on sunday, i am going to 2 beer tastings back to back; the first at noon is a bourbon barrel barleywine theme - monday will be hell!! ...if i make it that far...

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Tan head with excellent retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Malt aromas. Sweet and thin with caramel front to back.

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.

One of my favorite beers. Has a great taste and after taste. Good Carmel color

Bouteilles 325 ml. 4.5%. Bue à Playa Del Carmen. Couleur ambrée, mousse blanche. Une autre belle découverte...une alternative aux pale lager Mexicaines. Arôme de malt. En bouche, un peu d’herbes, douce. Finale avec un peu de houblon. Très bonne.

This beer is definitely my favorite mexican draft. Unfortunately you have to drive across the border to get a taste of this beer. Its like a Dos XX Ambar and a Negra Modelo mated and had a smooth easy on the palate and absolutely no "afterbite" beer. If you happen to bring some back to the states I highly recommend buying a Caguama "large bottle" because it seems to hold taste better than the 12oz bottles. You can literally sit down and drink pitcher after pitcher of this stuff and not feel your stomach about to explode or a numb mouth because of the Hoppy bitterness ale’s will leave behind. Head south of the border and enjoy an "Oktoberfest" tasting lager and taste the smooth caramel aroma that will make your palate dance...

UPDATED: APR 26, 2012 Best, easy-drinking Marzen/Oktoberfest lager from Mexico. Be warned-- the bottle product is inferior to the draft. Funny how people judge a beer that’s been smuggled into the US in a hot car trunk and expect it to sing and dance. Enjoy the caramel-malt aroma with a satisfying sweet finish. Think Paulaner Oktoberfest lager at about half the weight. If you are looking for an ale experience, don’t waste your time. Check it out in Nogales, Rocky Point, San Luis Rio Colorado, and Mexicali. Best place to find it is a gringo-feel sports bar called Chiltepino’s. In Nogales, Sonora, take a 15-minute cab ride to El Tule for the world’s best Carnitas and Guacamole. !Salud!

Black Friday tasting...meh. Darkish pour. Malty as hell on the nose. Flavor is malty and booze. Not for me. No thanks.

10/1/11. quart bottle. bright amber with a white head. clear. a. is a touch chocolatey, some malt, florals akin to rice, some funky disgusting business, sweat and alkyhol. the flavor is the same... actually, not terrible. clean crisp finish. sharp carbonation. dece for swill. dope ass label. 5/4/5/3/10
