bitter (1137), Henderson, Nevada, USA May 24, 2006 had this bad boy in a white can @ one of my favorite las vegas mexican spots. pale lager typical here. some corn flavors with a wither a malty sweetness. easy to drink and to cut that hot salsa. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA May 22, 2006 Tried this at the beer festival. Dude, seriously, WTF? Nothing in this beer put piss and a headache. It tastes like that taco bell chihuahua soaked its hairy nuts in this beer. Avoid! kingfiogojr (78), Baltimore, Maryland, USA May 21, 2006 Far as the pale lagers go, this one isn’t bad. It’s better than their other effort: Corona. It pours a golden yellow...the color is very noticeable, and then it actually has a little but of flavor. Not really much. Corn notes abound. As far as pale lagers go, this one is not bad. iammadeofjelly (183), Liverpool, Merseyside, England May 15, 2006 Dunno what cinco de mayo is but the bar near me was pushin this and corona to extreme, now corona aint great but its easy to drink, but this was dearer and had a stronger corona taste than corona, the light taste of corona is ok like, but this is strong tasting, ouch it feels acidic, ’american’ style beer aint great compared to our cheaps in europe darkko (99), Kingsport, Tennessee, USA May 10, 2006 Very light to medium bodied with no character. No hoppy taste either. I wouldn’t get it again. OldMrCrow (1179), Seattle, Washington, USA May 6, 2006 From the bottle.
Pours a clear, attractive yellow with a nice fluffy white head. The aroma is grain/corn and a bit of grass. The flavor is grainy and weak, slight hints of grassy hops but really dominated by the adjuncts; mouthfeel is watery and flat and even at about 45 F it feels too warm for what it is. This one reminds me why they serve bad beer cold.
Mirage52 (123), New Market, Maryland, USA May 4, 2006 From the bottle for Cinco de Mayo. Pours a deep golden color with a nice sized head and some good tracing on the glass. The taste is very bland and watery, almost tastes flat. It might be good in the Mexican sun when you’re eating some spicy food, but today it leaves a lot to be desired. Especially at $8 for a 6 pack. NachlamSie (1630), Tennessee, USA Apr 30, 2006 Updated: Aug 17, 2006bottle. boooo. I actually had some semblance of hope for this brew. Don’t get me wrong, I really didn’t expect anything over the bare minimum of consumable, but I did at least hope for that. Nope. Nasty skunky aroma with a little peppery notes and hints of malt that make it slightly more interesting, then corn, cardboard, and plastic in the mouth. I thought I could at least plug my nose and choke it down with a spicy salsa/chicken sandwhich, but no, I cannot fight the nautious qualities. This is certainly crap.
update: I visit Chicago. I’m in deep in the Polish part of town to get some authentic quisine. The service, unfortunately, was so bad I could not even see my server long enough to order a beer. So I come to this Polish bar afterwards to get at least some Polish swill. No. I can’t even have that. It’s either Modelo Especial or BMC. Well, now here I am.
