Bottle. Poured a orange gold colour with a carbonated white head which soon vanished. Had a real poor aroma and a malty taste, not very good.

I tried the bottle first and found it very "skunky". I went to party recently and had the can with a small wedge of lime put right into the can and the flavor was so different from what I had in the bottle. The can is so smooth - not what I expected at all.

Yellow pour with an open, airy foam. Aromas of corn and a one-dimensional, stale malt flavor. Tons of carbonation. Still, fairly clean and much weightier than other of its Mexican brethren.

bottle - I poured a glass of Modelo, It was quite fizzy and yellow. The taste made me mourn, it was such nasty corn. To the drain I think it must go. (seriously, this is nasty beer. Maybe it’s skunked, but if so, one can only blame the brewery for putting it in a clear bottle. The finish is particularly awful.)

Bottled, pasteurised, 330ml. Orange gold, carbonated, white fizzed head. Poor lager with a tinny, sweetcorn, cardboard flavour. Overcarbonated and definitely not one to revisit, however; you do have to remind yourself how bad it can get.

I think this is worse than Montesuma’s revenge. Quite honestly is flat all around and has a tin like taste. Not good.
