calebrum (41) - Saint cloud, Minnesota, USA - MAR 8, 2013
Cereal, corn, metallic and all that. It’s like a grainier version of the corona. Not bad for its league of beers, certainly refreshing.

boxofrane (1174) - pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 25, 2013
Bottle from wegmans Kop. Pours clear orange with a small white head that quickly dissipates. Not a bad looking lager. The aroma has some of that European hard lager scent.. Corn.. Wheat. The taste is corn, some sweetness. Not awful.

Mike_in_Kansas (22) - Olathe, Kansas, USA - FEB 20, 2013
Poured from 12 oz. bottle into glass mug. Pours a medium clear sparkling yellow color with a very small white fizzy head with minimal lacing that dissipates quickly. Smells of faint grain/hay, with slight citrus & grass odor. Initial flavor is very light cereal with a slight acidic taste, with a short sour/bitter finish. Body is very light with a watery texture and soft carbonation that diminishes in a couple of minutes, becoming fairly flat. Fairly uninspired - would best be served cold on a hot day.

Iphonephan (1196) - Virginia, USA - FEB 19, 2013
From a bottle in Puerto Aventuras Mexico. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Feint malt aroma. Highly carbonated mouthfeel. Crisp but very flavorable. Just OK if served with a lime in the tropics. There are better mainline Mexican beers.

mzaar (883) - Varberg, SWEDEN - FEB 14, 2013
Guldfärgad öl, stort bubbligt vitt skum. Maltsötman är inte oangenäm, den återfinns i både doft och smak. Lime och majs hittas också. Inte alls en dum matöl.

AndreasJaeger (500) - Malmö, SWEDEN - FEB 14, 2013
Ljusgul i färgen, vitt skum. Doftar milt av majs malt, lite citrus, gräs hö. Smakar vattnigt, majs, gräs, hö, lite citrus.

dalfaro86 (208) - Mexico City, MEXICO - FEB 13, 2013
Pours a clear pale golden brew with a diminute white head with poor retention, weak aroma with notes of grain, citrics an light caramel; light bodied, refreshing; the flavor is the same as the aroma, slightly bitter finish.

podey (489) - New York, New York, USA - JAN 26, 2013
Bottle. A pale lager in the pilsener style, it’s a drinkable Mexican lager that’s straightforward and standard.
