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.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville. Pours a bright golden color with a small fizzy head. Low head retention and lacing. This beer just reeks of skunk. Also notes of grassy hops and corn. Taste is skunk, grain and corn. Medium bodied.

Decent Beer, good for a tallcan choice, overpriced however if you decide to get a 12pack or what not. Good with food.

12 oz. bottle for $1.79 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours a clear, delightfully golden body with a foamy, white head. Smell: Lightly skunked nose with notes of grain husks and cooked corn. Taste: Husky grains and maize with a light cereal sweetness. Tiny, tiny bit of sourness. Light hop bitterness is sufficient enough to give this beer a dry finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied, but thankfully lacks the wateriness of its brethren. Medium-plus carbonation. Drinkability: No outright hideous, but, if you find yourself in a Mexican restaurant and need a beer, I’d sooner reach for a Negra Modelo.

Pours a pee color with some head. Very Fizzy. Aroma is bready and sweet. Flavor is like grass bread, soap, and water. Im guessing this beer survives based on its being not as terrible as corona. Overall, boring, kind of terrible.

A pretty good beer it is a little over priced for what you get but it is a great beer for chilling out with a few friends.

Can - 355ml. Limpid golden body with good carbonation and a thick, diminishing white foamy head. Fair malty/hoppy aroma with bready notes. Taste, however, is absolutely watery and carries some bad metallic and chemical hints. Finish is non-existent. Typical Latin American Lager.

<b>Bottle 33cl. at home.</b>
Clear medium orange color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, grain, toasted, citrus. Flavor is moderate sweet and some sour notes with a average duration. Body is medium to light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [150908]
