Was served at a resturant, bottle and the server stuck a lime in the opening. So only distint aroma was lime. Golden color body with white head. Awefull taste after poured in glass. Squit some lime in it and your back to lime flavor. Well I needed something to wash down the chips and salsa. Better than Corona.

Received some cans from our new neighbors in exchange for a couch and a tv we couldn’t keep due to having to move out. Funny because we were going to offer them some beers for taking the stuff off our hands!

12 oz can - Pours pale yellow with a light white head that dissipates kind of quick. Aroma is mostly corn and light malts a touch of hops. The taste is corn and light malts. Highly carbonated and not very tasty. One step above water for this one.

This one pours a pale yellow-gold. There is a slight skunk odor followed by some malt and citrus aroma. The taste is malty sweet with some lemon. It is a bit watery. This is a very average beer that is drinkable, but not anything I would hurry to buy again. Unlike some beers that get more flavorful when they warm, this one finishes more sour as it warms. Best to drink it cold.

Something like so many standard pale lagers. Pale and medium head. some sweetness and a little hint of bitterness. Flavor finish a bit odd.

Clear medium gold. No bouquet of note. Fairly boring palate, nearly devoid of any hop or malt flavour and quite fizzy. Good thirst quenching option (but so it water).
