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.

Bottle. Pours a light yellow color, with a white foamy head. Aroma: corn. Taste is similar, with a sweet finish.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. The aroma is pretty bad. Armpit and old cheerios. The flavor is not nearly as offensive as the aroma, if fact, I imagine this would actually be quite drinkable straight from the bottle. In a glass though, not so much. The consummate cheapskate, I was still able to finish the bottle without much trouble.
