12 oz bottle-Someone broke this out @ a cookout after the Corona ran out. I’d have to call it a step up from there although that isn’t saying much-at least you don’t need to ad a lime just to drink it. Grassy, grainy, corn aroma. Some malt flavor to it-smooth finish. Nothing special-just get it ice cold & just grab a bottle!

A Mes rate: Malty. Crap appearance. No head at all no matter what you do. All I have to say on the subject.

12 oz. bottle at Max & Erma’s, Columbus, OH. M&E’s "Beer of the Month" (yeah, right). This beer doesn’t deserve many words. Mexican Budweiser with added trace amounts of hops.

Had this in a can on a plane to Cabo. The appearance of the stewardess that gave me the beer was incredible, the beer was not. Just a south-of-the-border version of Meister Brau. Of course, this did not stop me from having about 8, accompanied by the requisite tequila. Upon landing, I immediately regretted my decision as I deposited this fine pale lager all over the tarmac. Avoid.

Bottle: A metallic, malty flavor and arom dominated this ’premium’ beer. Not bad for a mexican import, but is that really saying much at all? Not good, and I rated well above average.

Strange chemical like aroma upon opening. Served from a clear bottle. Some dryness which is moderately pleasant but overall quite poor.

Bottle. Golden with no head. Aromas are thin grain with corn, some salty butter and metal. Flavours are incredibly thin - gritty grain and weak lemon with strong soda water notes. Not very especial.

Can. Poured an light pale color with a minimal white head that diminished quickly. Light grainy aroma. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with a short sweet finish. I would not recommend this to a freind.
