Tastes a bit like Corona light. Golden yellow. Not much of a flavor or aroma.

Botella 325 Ml. Lo mejor que tiene es la forma de la botella. No es mas que una corona/coronita en otra botella

Plain with some nice malty notes in the finish. Had with a lime so the flavor was a bit skewed on the sweet side. Slight chemical aroma.

I give this beer a higher rating. For anyone who drank this from a can, I expect a low rating. It completely sucks from a can. But, from a bottle, I find this beer to be suprisingly malty, crisp, and quite tasty. I have had it a couple of times where it didn’t taste very freash, but most of the time, this beer does the trick for me.

Bottle pours a dark golden color with off white head. Little aroma and taste reminds me a lot of a corona. Nothing special.

Beat-up tall boy can from ol’ Mexico. Fizzy dark gold pour, not much head. Negligible aroma, but not bad. A little astringent, and with some malty sweetness. The taste is very light and a little perfumey, which is not typical for a pale lager. Dry finish. Not interesting, but you could have a couple at a party without complaining.

12oz bottle. Golden in color with active airy bubbles that burst quickly. Mild macro skunk in the aroma & corn. Starts watery & finishes watery with a small nine volt effect on the tongue. Blah tasting like sour apples or something. Last half down the drain. Grupo Modelo down the drain again…
