Clear glass bottle. Pale gold without much aroma. Doesn’t taste of much, some malt and some banana notes. Not objectionable though, like many pale lagers are. Think this is a little better than the score suggets.

Cherry syrup aroma. Golden color, no head. Equal balance of cherry and hop notes. Grass finish. Noticeable lack of carbonation.

Its pretty sad when your commercial description talks about being the leading beer sold in cans in Mexico. Typical crap, though it least it has a decent alcohol content.

Bottle. This is a very dry lager, and it tastes mostly of an earthy malt with a little twist of lime already in it. Not very good.

bottle. average, white, fizzy head into clear straw yellow body. aroma is rather skunky with some corn. Flavor is a bit watery with sourness with some sweet in finish. Has that Mexican beer aroma-skunky in a good way. Good for Mexican style.

24 oz can. Pours a nice yellow gold, with a white head that quickly disappears. No mention-worthy aroma or flavor detected. This stuff is bland, bland, and bland. Mouthfeel is thin and watery with some slight fizz from artificial carbonation. Finishes with sour chemical off-flavors. This is one of the worst beers I have ever sampled, makes Bud look like speedway stout.

Can. Sour water... Better than Corona, but not near as good as the other "Mexican Beer" I’ve had.
