Bottle. Pours a nice clear golden color with a thin, soapy, white head. Has a nice aroma of malt and corn. Taste is much the same, except it is a little watery. Though it is overpriced, it is a pretty nice beer, that is refreshing and easy to enjoy, especially on a hot day. Overall, this is one of the better Mexican beers. Also, the bottle is pretty neat looking and unique.

dwaggs2 (1127) - Jefferson City, Missouri, USA - AUG 3, 2008
Bottle. This is a typical mexican beer. However, it is better then most mexican beers. Pours a straw yellow with almost no head. Smelled of corn and malts. This is a very drinkable beer. It is also good to drink on a hot summer day. Smooth

This beer smells, looks and tastes absolutely awful. I got a free sample bottle where I work and I ended up pouring it out because I could NOT drink it.

(Tap @ Gingerman, Houston, TX): Pours a clear yellow-light brown color. Smallish white head, somewhat lasting. Sweet wheaty aroma, maybe some malts, but no hops. Fizzy taste, fruity, maybe banana. Some malts, fruity aftertaste. Surprisingly tasty.

Angeloregon (2054) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JUL 29, 2008
Bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a clear golden body with a frothy white head. Nose of crisp, clean malts and mild adjunct corn. Very nondescript and clean. I liked it a lot.

sebletitje (4011) - Enghien, BELGIUM - JUL 27, 2008
Bottle at Newark airport. Pours light golden with a white head. Aroma of wheat and corn some citrus. Taste was horrible, typical pale lager, dry with no flavor.

Sparky (2128) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - JUL 21, 2008
Can. Pours a dark gold with one finger white head. Nose is your typical Mexican lager with straw and a bit of hops. Taste is grain, corn and a touch of bitter hops in the finish. Light mouth feel. Nothing special but refreshing on this 101 degree evening as I’m grilling steaks.
