This my favorite cerveza by far. Plus they’re smart enough to put it in a can so you can take it to the beach, no glass on the beach here in SD. Pours a nice full yellow color, clearish, with a sudsy white head that fades quickly to just a few bubbles on the surface. Smells of malt, not too strong of a nose though. Tastes of lots of malt, nice and crisp, with a touch of fruit in the aftertaste. Thin, crisp (when cold), and well carbonated. I’ll drink it all day long, when on the beach of course.

Poor choice. Bland entry that tasted salty to me and that’s never good. Pale, uninviting appearence with a comperable finish. Should come with instructions to only consume if the temperature exceeds 100 and if your only other option is Miller Lite.

Can (710ml!!) from Texas courtesy of my In-Laws. This can is way too big, it’s ridiculous. Pours a clear bubbly gold with a spare diminishing white head. Very, very mild aroma, I pretty much can’t detect anything except a faint sugary sweetness. Flavour’s also very mild and it’s watery with only hints of grain, malt, corn and hops. Light crisp body. There’s nothing foul or bad here, it’s not stale or skunky, but man it’s so friggin’ bland. I guess it would be refreshing on a hot summer day in lieu of water.

I picked this at random off a supermarket shelf and found its Miller meets a malty Schmidts taste was actually ok. I think it would be an improvement as a lawnmower beer. It had a mild bitterness to it with some malts showing and going.

I can only bong this beer, I just can’t stand that taste. If you do not get a cold can you will most likely confuse the smell for piss.
