Overall Impression: Very similar to its pale Mexican lager brethren, it’s another one best enjoyed on a hot day, otherwise, I’d just grab the Negra version...

(bottle). Pours a clear golden/amber color. Spare white head which diminished instantly. Light grainy aroma and flavor. Short duration. No lacing. Soft carbonation.

Aroma was skunky. Head was short and had a straw colored body. Taste wasn’t anything special. Average lager.

Bottle, The Cave. Light golden brew, white head. Just a regular lager. A bit metallic and dry.

12fl oz bottle poured into a dimpled mug. Clear golden with a tiny white head. Aroma is skunk at first. After the head dissipates, it smells like corn. The flavor is also corn and hops. Medium to high carbonation. Short bitter finish.

Pours with little head. The aroma is a bit corny but not too strong. The taste is slightly corny as well, but mostly just barley and maybe a touch of rice (though less than its American macro counterparts). It has a watery, light mouthfeel and finishes slightly bitter. Overall, it’s a small notch above an American macro, but it’s still nothing to write home about.

Can. Another bland, boring macro lager. Pale urine-like color with a fizzy white head. Grainy aroma and flavor with a little corn. Light on the palate. Drinkable but a bit unpleasant.
