Crushed with Jakebra. Meh. Better than the average Mex pee. Surprisingly smooth for it being pee and all. Chlorine, some lime residue (thanks to the bartender), some poop all around. Could be a lot worse.

24oz can... 30 cents more than a Bud tall-boy and well worth the upgrade. Lightly metallic, corny, doughy, and grassy aroma. The flavor has watery pale malt, corn flakes, light herbal hops, and a tangy finish. Thin and highly carbonated. As long as this stays cold, it is definitely doable, but by the time you finish a tall can this is probably not the case. Definitely around the middle of the Maxican macro lagers.

Clear golden pour with a scant white head and no real lacing. The aroma was overly sweet with lots of corn and some perfumy, soapy notes. Flavor is basically the same. Light, watery mouthfeel.

(12 ounce can) This goes well with mexican food. But by it self it is not a very good lager. The can im drinking it out of also gives a little mettalic taste which I don’t like. Nothing special with this beer.

Bottle. Well, it tastes pretty much the same as Corona. Enough said really. Not much happening.

12 oz. bottle. Not a bad mass-produced cervesa style. Has a decent flavor by its self but is a little better with a wedge of lime. Wouldn’t buy unless I was in Mexico.

Bitter beer; I did not like it. Everything about it was bitter and it did not entice me to have another.
