12 oz bottled poured into a glass. Not a bad Pale Lager but definitely not a good one. A bit harsh/bitter. Otherwise just an average Pale Lager. No other defining traits.

12 oz bottle poured into a glass. Pours a pale yellow color with a almost nonexistent quickly vanishing head. It has a skunky aroma. Tastes slightly skunky but is a refreshing easy to drink beer. This beer doesn’t strike me as special in any way but is definitely drinkable.

Had a sample at a big food and beer tasting in Cedar Falls, IA. All I wrote down was "Surprisingly similar to American light beers."

Deep golden color...fluffy head, with great lacing. Faint aroma. Front is light, with a hint of sweet malt...mouthfeel is slightly crisp. Mild flavor continues into the back. Finish is somewhat dry, with just a touch of sweetness. Finally, a Mexican lager that doesn’t remind me of Mexican water...very drinkable, with a decent taste to boot.

TERRIBLE! Piss yellow coloring and skunky aroma. 2 sips and I poured it out. Not sure what this is all about but I would not drink this again.

Steve B. brought this to the Islands ’09’. Clear golden pour with a scant white head. The aroma was overly sweet with lots of corn and some soapy notes. Flavor is basically the same. Light and watery.
