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.

Like most other Mexican macro beers. Not much smell, not much taste, not much of anything. Like someone said before me "Taste is very bland, very watery, but... I kind of love it." I’d drink this over Bud, Miller, or Coors anyday.

Pretty typical of the other Mexican macro beers. Not awful, but really nothing special...it is what it is...
