Bottle, The Peacock, Liverpool. Even with a chunk of lime rammed down its neck this is still watery piss.

Light yellow color no head. Aroma has some corn and metal. Flavor is sweet, corny and metallic. Thin and very bland.

An okay beer. Just like any other generic Mexican brew. The best thing about this beer is the packaging - which is, admittedly, excellent. As for taste, one must be in the mood for it in order to truly enjoy it. Better than Corona, but still in the same ballpark.

cool bottle, paired with pizza. The first sip was a disgusting pale lager I could barely swallow it. I started taking bigger gulps and it started to grow on me. Thirst quenching and cool, I guess it pairs well with food. I’m now craving real beer though.

Taste 10/9 can. Looks: Copper head with no body. Aroma: Some sweet malt and corn. Taste: Very weak bodied lager with low carbonation and finishes with a bite. You get exactly what you expect from it.

Can. I had this stuff when I visited Mexico a few years back. Bitter. Not so bad. Also tried it with beer salt. Might try a lime with it one day.
