Canette. 25/03/07 Plage de Mismaloya. Arôme de maïs. Jaune clair, la mousse s’efface très vite. Goût léger de maïs, manque d’amertume, bonne effervescence, très mince, arrière-goût plutôt absent. Bof.

Nice golden pilsener color. Good hopps aroma. One of the better Mexican imports you can get. Good lasting head beats the wateriness of your average south of the border import

Thanks to my friend Dion who brought me one of these to sample. Fresh nose of grains and cereal. Pure pilsener. Pours a clear pale golden. Tall stiff white mostly lasting head, fair lace. Malt toastiness predominates in flavor, quick finish. Light watery body, finish is clean.

Foamy head with golden colored body. Metallic taste. Acceptable with mexican food but not much else.

The typical Mexican beer in color and in head. Yellow with a thin white lacey head. Mouthfeel was alright, since this beer was served ice cold. I probably wouldnt order it again but I would certianly grab a Negra Modelo first.

Bleh. Tastes like corona only more water and stale. I don’t have anything good to say about this beer... Not even on a hot summer day when it is ice cold.

Bottled. No skunky scent. Like many lagers, it had an ever so bland taste with hints of corn. Astringent finish. Not bad...
