Nice dark golden in color, foamy head. Bland metallic taste with not much else going for it. Slight medicinal aroma. Other than that, this beer doesn’t have much going for it but at least its drinkable (but just barely).

Bottle. Pours clear yellow, white head. Aroma is malt, ketchup, hops. Flavor is the same. Pretty gross.

Appearance: Pale gold, clear, wet white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma: Faint with corn, toast, and a surprising hint of hops. Flavor: Not as corny as most macro lagers, but still nothing "especial." Toasty, mealy malt with some adjunct character. Palate: Fizzy and burpy and thin. Par for the macro course.

This is an OK beer. Light pale ale in color... I drank it out of the bottle. It has a slight tingly palate. It has a pretty good flavor sort of a corona/heineken mix. Will have again, but certainly not a favorite.

Watery and corny. A clear yellow pour with little to no head. Is better than corona but still lacks a lot.

...bottle, can. Bottle is obviously better. Well, not much to say abou this. Clear yellow, no head. Flavors of corn, and maybe a touch of malt, but not much. Smooth, easy drinking, beter than most mexibrews.

Bottle. Pours a nice clear golden color with a thin, soapy, white head. Has a nice aroma of malt and corn. Taste is much the same, except it is a little watery. Though it is overpriced, it is a pretty nice beer, that is refreshing and easy to enjoy, especially on a hot day. Overall, this is one of the better Mexican beers. Also, the bottle is pretty neat looking and unique.
