...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.

Bottle. This is a typical mexican beer. However, it is better then most mexican beers. Pours a straw yellow with almost no head. Smelled of corn and malts. This is a very drinkable beer. It is also good to drink on a hot summer day. Smooth

This beer smells, looks and tastes absolutely awful. I got a free sample bottle where I work and I ended up pouring it out because I could NOT drink it.

(Tap @ Gingerman, Houston, TX): Pours a clear yellow-light brown color. Smallish white head, somewhat lasting. Sweet wheaty aroma, maybe some malts, but no hops. Fizzy taste, fruity, maybe banana. Some malts, fruity aftertaste. Surprisingly tasty.

Bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a clear golden body with a frothy white head. Nose of crisp, clean malts and mild adjunct corn. Very nondescript and clean. I liked it a lot.

Bottle at Newark airport. Pours light golden with a white head. Aroma of wheat and corn some citrus. Taste was horrible, typical pale lager, dry with no flavor.

Can. Pours a dark gold with one finger white head. Nose is your typical Mexican lager with straw and a bit of hops. Taste is grain, corn and a touch of bitter hops in the finish. Light mouth feel. Nothing special but refreshing on this 101 degree evening as I’m grilling steaks.
