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...

Pours clear golden with thin head and racing bubbles. Nose is very plain and smells faintly of corn and fuggles. The flavor has small initial bitterness that fades into mildly bitter faint maltiness. Thin metallic aftertaste. Pretty good pale lager.

Pretty good for a mexican beer. I’d have it again instead of a Corona. Try it you might like it, but don’t forget the lime.

Better than Corona, but is that saying much? It doesn’t have a real skunky after-taste, but perhaps because it doesn’t have much taste.
