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…

24 oz. can. Poured with almost no head and was completely gone in seconds. I must say it has a slightly better taste than Corona (not saying much). Overall, if last option...drink water.

Canned (710ml). -no alcohol content written on the can
Golden coloured, small airy head, lively carbonation. Faint hoppy and sweet caramelish taste with notes of corn and cardboard. Watery bitter finish. Just another Corona crap.
