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.

Very similiar to other Mexcian macros, however this has a bit more taste to it. Medium to high carbonation, light golden pour, very heady. Very mild hops and corn.

Pours a clear golden with a fairly substatial white head that quickly disipates, but leaves a little behind to lace the glass. Aroma is grain and grassiness. Taste is grainy and somewaht sweet. Some hop bitterness is evident. Nothing "especial", but it is refreshing.

Drink it at the Mexican Restaurant in Florance called Salamanca. Golden colour witha small head. Carbonated wheat tasted lager beer. Easy and ok with spicy food not more than that.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Slightly skunky aroma with some earth tones. Flavor is similar if you can find a flavor. Not good.
