12oz bottle. Pours a transparent golden yellow. Very little head. Smells of corn, grain and skunk thats not too pleasant. Tastes better than it smells, but still no treat. An o.k. mexican brew.

24oz can. Pours golden clear with a small, fizzy white head. Aroma is of corn, malt, grain, and faint hops. Taste is metallic with lots of corn, cheap beer malt, grain, and the faintest of hops. Not offensive to the taste, but not very good either.

Clear 12 oz bottle. Pours a translucent golden with a smaller bubbly white head that left some slight lacing. Aroma was skunky, intially reminded me of the crappy Rolling Rock we would drink in High School, corn, sweet malty notes, very light citrus and a bit grainy. Flavor of the same initial skunkiness, sweet grainy malt notes, corn and a touch of some citrus.

I think mine must have been bad. The aroma was skunky and gross. The flavor was metallic. Not a great combination for a beer.

Bottle. Pours clear straw yellow with big white head. The aroma is quite a bit of skunk with chaff, melon, and corn. The flavor is very bland. Not as offensive as the aroma, but there is some corn, grass, zest, and paper. Meh.
