Bleh. Tastes like corona only more water and stale. I don’t have anything good to say about this beer... Not even on a hot summer day when it is ice cold.

Yellow, good carbonation. Smells like wheat, or dry grass. Taste malty, but quite refreshing if very cold.

12 oz. Clear golden with a lasting creamy disc. Nose is sourish dry grass and honey with a hint of skunk. Not much taste, maybe some dry grass and bland white toast with a touch of honey. Light body is balanced with a crisp dry finish, and is a bit too fizzy.

If its hot and you like mexican beer, this is not a bad option with a little lime.

Tallboy can. Standard macro lager across the board. Aftertaste is a bit long and has some offensive notes to it. Doesn’t seem clean or refined.

Benjii (1660) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - JAN 1, 2012
In bottle. Pours a golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma and flavours of bready yeast, caramel and grassy hops. Mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel.
