Bottle, 330ml. A pale straw colour with a small head. Nice floral aroma with lots of honey and some elderflower. Taste is hoppy with honey, elderflower and malty notes. Moderate carbonation. Actually pretty nice, and easy to drink.

Pours a clear gold color with little head. A soft hoppy aroma. Watery hop taste, but I would prefer this over most Mexican macrobrews. Not bad, but not at all great. Modelo es bueno.

Courtesy of Fonefan. It’s warm golden with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt and fruit. The flavour has sweetness and notes of malt, fruit and it ends on a slightly sweet and dry note.

Bottle from Phil_l with a box of fun stuff Beer Merchants. Thanks Phil! Pleasant little trip into the over-saturated colors of nostalgia with this one. Ambitious road trip right down the middle of the Mexico, over mountains, to coffee plantations, deserts, both coasts. My dismal Spanish. Getting very lost at 3 am in Mexico City. A great adventure, and some Modelo Especial figured in there somewhere.

Pours pale copper with a lot of white head that collapses away quickly. Some definite hop nose, sort of a hop extract quality, a bit industrial but fine, some toasted field corn. Supermarket white bread malt flavor, a bit more of those industrial hops. Admittedly under the influenced of nostagia, this beer was more enjoyable than the sum of it’s parts, Fun to try it again.

Not sure why the bottle has to look like that, but it’s kind of cool. Why do we need 2 Coronas? I guess this is better than Anheuser World Select, but it’s not a pilsener style beer at all, so I score this beer an extra fail.
