It’s a pretty simple brew, with a nice sweet finish. There is really not much to it, but it’s pretty refreshing. It would really hit the spot on a hot summer day.

Bottle from my dad. Pours a typical pale golden with a white head. Pale malt and straw aroma. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Bready and corn flavors, but with a detectable amount of bitterness. One of the better mexican pale lagers.

Straw color with thing sudsy white head. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor is not bad for this style of beer. Slightly crisp and sweet. A little caramel a little yeasty. Drinkable, its no negra though.

Bottle/can. Average pale lager. nothing "especial". Certainly drinkable, especially with spicy foods or during the hot summer.

Another garbage beer. There is nothing "espcial" about this brew. Skunk, aluminum oxide taste, hops? What hops?

9/20/07 From 24 oz can. Aroma is sweet/sour corny pils malt with no hop character. Appearance is light clear gold with a moderate white head. Flavor is light and watery with just a touch of earthiness mixed with a low pils malt character. Mouthfeel is low bodied with a medium/high carb feel. Overall, pretty refreshing but fairly low on complexity and flavor.

Light clean golden with a small white head. Aroma was heavy skunk in the first 10 seconds but then faded away. Other than that the flavor and aroma was light malts, citrus, grains. Nothing special but not horrible either.
