Well its a mexican beer. That means its never too good. and this is holds true as well. Blah Blah Blah. Only good thing about this is that it has more alcohol than most other Blah beers.

Light gold with a white head. There is litte to no aroma, maybe some skunk. Taste is sweet and watery. No body, no taste, no quality.

Essentially the budweiser of mexico. It is not skunky, but it doesn’t have any flavor except for the corn. It is decent to drink as long as you don’t compare it to Dogfish Head.

Bottle. Sour malt aroma with noted skunkiness. Golden yellow with small head. Mild sour malt flavor with a slight sweet finish. Another blah Lager from Grupo Modelo - at least it doesn’t have as much of Corona’s skunkiness.

An average palr lager, but the flavor is a bit richer than most pale lagers I’ve had, still no good, but drinkable, especially with hot foods.

Bottle at the Solomon Cutler, Birmingham. Swigged this whilst watching the footy, and found it reasonable. Refreshing clean, but with some fairly pleasant malt and a bit of dusky lemon perhaps.

I had actually expected less from this. It came served with a lime. Which was good on the salsa...Not bad considering...

usually i love to trash this type beer, but i am in a good mood now. so, i’d say that this is smooth and easy drinking.
