Pours a dark yellow with a thin white head. Slight cereal nose. Palate is medium with slight malt with light bitter with no lingering aftertaste. Malt and hops are balanced.

The aroma is mostly reminiscent of sour dough yeast with a hint of sweet bread malts, and the appearance combines a dark golden color and a small white head that has a fairly stable retention on the liquid as a whole. The taste is mildly sour and slightly sweet, and the palate combines a medium body, thin texture, abrupt finish, and a soft carbonation.

Mild malty nose. Pale fast disappearing head. Pale golden color. Mild malty slightly hoppy taste. Slightly waterly. Some hints of lemon. Good for thurst.

This beer makes me feel like that meeting where I cancelled my prior arrangements, drove 4 hours out of my way and stayed in a hotel room that refuses to warm its self just got cancelled.

An orange beer with no head. The flavor is sweet and malty. The flavor is thin, slightly sweet and malty with no bitterness. Its a little sour with notes of brewmash in the end. Was quite nice in Tijuana as the sun was setting though.

Sweet malty, crisp, and clean. Boring as hell...unless you’re really thirsty. Then, chug-a-lug good. But I’d still rather chug a fine IPA under those circumstances.

White bottle. Vague apple flavor, watery with cardboard and vague vinous notes. Apple in the aroma. Needless beer.

Gold color, aroma slight lemon with a playdo. Taste, lemon corn, light mouth feel. Very clean and easy drinking, crisp and refreshing beer.

This is a very good Mexican beer, actually better than C orona but at a cheaper price.

I drank quite a bit of this with relatives in Santa Fe during a reunion, so I have a bit of a soft spot for it, but there’s really nothing to it. Thin with not much character.
